Production Part Approval Process and Supplier Part Submission

When a supplier launches a new part or changes a process, customers expect documented proof that the part will meet requirements consistently. This course teaches the Production Part Approval Process and how to compile a complete submission package that wins fast approval. Delegates practise assembling the required evidence so African suppliers can secure and retain contracts with automotive and industrial buyers.

Compile a part submission warrant and supporting documentation package.
