This process approval checklist supports manufacturers in planning and validating production before launch or changes. It covers triggers like new parts, design or process changes, re-PPAP, and long suspensions. Sections include project closure, capacity checks, supplier management, production controls (ESD, gauges, maintenance, parameters), and quality management (SPC, MSA, capability, traceability, safe launch). Logistics items include FIFO, container suitability, shipment audits, and JIS monitoring.
