Collaborative approval & managing evidence of conformity: How to Digitalize PPAP
Benjamin Rasoulkhani explains the "Digital PPAP" use case
During the Automotive Masterminds Conference, held in Berlin from March 5th to 6th, 2024, material.one AG and adesso SE showcased advanced digital solution concepts to tackle current and future challenges in the automotive industry. Benjamin Rasoulkhani, Director of Product Development at material.one, delivered a presentation on the "Digital PPAP" use case.
The conference has established itself as a platform for decision-makers and experts from the automotive sector to exchange technical solutions, experiences, and strategies, as well as to gain insights into new trends and solutions. Mr. Rasoulkhani's presentation on the digitized Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), a critical process in the product development process (PD Process) for ensuring the quality and conformity of materials and components, garnered significant attention. This process is already successfully implemented with customers in the automotive sector.
The cloud-based platform material.one is revolutionizing PPAP processes through digitization and integration across company boundaries into the supplier network, reducing error potentials, shortening lead times, minimizing costs, and ensuring timely series production launches. Furthermore, material.one facilitates manufacturers' conformity to environmental standards across their supply chain by simplifying, accelerating, and making the approval process and documentation for recyclable content, CO2 emissions, and other environmental factors transparent.
Bernd Löhle, CEO of material.one, emphasized the strategic importance of the collaboration with adesso during the conference: "As a subsidiary of adesso SE and an integral part of their solution portfolio, material.one benefits significantly from adesso's broad expertise in the automotive industry, their IT knowledge, and agile project methodology. This partnership enables continuous expansion of the functionality of our platform material.one."
