Cleveland, Ohio – Jul 24 2024 – The aerospace industry is facing significant hurdles in implementing the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) standards outlined in AS9145. Adopted from the automotive industry’s AIAG framework, these standards are essential for ensuring product quality and safety. However, challenges in data management and collaboration are hindering widespread adoption.

While the aerospace industry has recognized the importance of APQP and PPAP, the reliance on spreadsheets for managing this critical business process has become a major bottleneck. The automotive industry has successfully transitioned to relational databases to streamline these processes, but the aerospace sector has been slower to adapt.

PeProSo, an internationally recognized subject matter expert on APQP PPAP is working closely with aerospace OEMs and suppliers to address these challenges. The company is developing a cost-effective, rapid deployment solution that offers complete control over hosting, customization, and integration. “We attempted to create a unified aerospace consortium to tackle this issue, but encountered resistance from companies concerned about proprietary data,” said John Cachat, CEO of PeProSo. “Some companies are even attempting to develop their own solutions.”

A groundbreaking new approach to addressing these challenges is expected to be unveiled following the upcoming airshow.  

Efforts are underway to apply AI/ML digitization tools to support APQP PPAP 4.0 effort.
