Can the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) process cause employee turnover?

 

I was presenting at an ASQ event in Boston about “PPAP Software – What works and does not work and Why?”  One of the participants came up to me to ask more questions.  They said, “If I can’t find a better PPAP solution than spreadsheets, I am going to quit.”

This person was a very intelligent, energetic, and driven individual.  They further explained that they like the intent of the PPAP process and found it very interesting, but using spreadsheets is very unproductive. 

I never thought that companies can lose very qualified employees by asking them to do unproductive PPAP work.
