GENERAL MOTORS
PRE-PRODUCTION PART QUALITY PROCESS (PPQP)
PRE-PRODUCTION / PROTOTYPE Version 6
SUPPLIER REQUIREMENTS GUIDELINE
GM Confidential
Introduction
The PPQP SUPPLIER REQUIREMENTS GUIDELINE specifies the General Motors global minimum part quality certification
requirements for Pre-Production/Prototype/Production parts that have not received full PPAP (Production Part Approval Process)
approval for use in design intent Pre-Production Builds at General Motors.
All PPQP Pre-Production/Prototype part quality supplier warrant certification shall be in accordance with the requirements set forth in
this PPQP Supplier Requirements Guideline.
The term “Supplier” shall be used to indicate the prime contractor (Tier 1 Supplier) to General Motors Corporation. Tier 1 Suppliers are
responsible to apply the PPQP Supplier Requirements Guideline to subcontractors (Tier 2 Suppliers).
GM PPO Supplier Quality may request suppliers to provide additional control evidences not specified in this document.
Pre-Production Part Quality Process – Key Points
1. PPQP classifies Pre-Production/Prototype parts that have not received full PPAP approval being used in Pre-Production builds
into two categories:
a. Pre-Production/Prototype “CRITICAL” parts
b. Pre-Production/Prototype “NON-CRITICAL” parts
2. The category of the part and conformance to General Motors specifications determines approval requirements.
3. Suppliers must utilize the following new forms, labels and tags available via GM Supply Power in accordance with the new
PPQP process: PPQP-1 (Quality Warrant), PPQP-2 (Corrective Action Plan), PPQP-3 (Pre-Production part tag), PPQP-4
(Container Label), PPQP Non-Conforming Part Approval Email Process. PPQP-5 (Body Stamping/Sub Assemblies
Supplement) (When in Supply Power: Select the “Document Library” tab, then select “Supplier Quality” folder, then select the
“Procedures and Forms” folder, then select “Global Pre-Production Part Quality Process (PPQP)”).
4. PPQP labels and tags are available for supplier purchase from CMS Print Solutions via the “CMS/Supplier Portal” link on the
GM SupplyPower website home page. Contact your regional GM procuring location for local suppliers.
5. Electronic copies of the PPQP-3 and PPQP-4 tags and labels are available for suppliers who prefer in-house printing in lieu of
purchase via GM SupplyPower in the Quality Document Center, Procedures and Forms, PPQP Process folder.
6. All shipments to PPO sites without proper documentation or without previous agreement with PPO Supplier Quality will be
quarantined pending resolution and payment will be withheld until necessary documentation is received by GM.
7. Documentation issues that are not rectified within 24 hours may lead to the issuance of a Problem Reporting & Resolution
(PR&R).
8. The supplier is required to retain all original PPQP documentation (including dimensional inspection and material reports) for a
specified model year for two (2) years after the last shipment and is obligated to provide copies to GM upon request.
9. Suppliers with questions relative to the identity and email address of the respective Program Subsystem Validation Engineer
(PSVE) for Vehicle or Design Release Engineer (DRE) Powertrain, should contact the respective Program or Account
Manager assigned to the part within their company.

copies of all associated test reports shall also be submitted with the shipment.
PPQP CRITICAL PARTS
1. The Request for Quote and Purchase Order will identify Critical Parts based on the Program Specific Critical Parts List.
2. GM PPO Supplier Quality (for Vehicle and Brazil) / DRE (for PPO Powertrain) must approve the checking strategy
(checking fixtures, holding fixtures, etc.).
3. GM PPO Supplier Quality (for Vehicle and Brazil) / DRE (for PPO Powertrain) must approve the first (1st) batch of Critical
parts before it is shipped to General Motors. The supplier is required to provide the inspection data regardless of
conformance to the design record.
4. When supplier checking strategy proposal is ready, the supplier shall contact GM to schedule approval. The
supplier shall obtain GM approval prior to beginning construction on checking devices.
When the first batch of parts is ready for shipment to GM, the supplier shall schedule review with GM
representative and gain approval from GM prior to shipping parts/components to the build site. For Powertrain,
the DRE is the GM representative referenced above. For Vehicle Assembly and Brazil the GM representative
must be PPO Quality.
5. Supplier is responsible to ensure all documentation is accurate and complete before scheduling the first batch review.
6. The GM Release Engineer and PSVE will support GM PPO Supplier Quality and the supplier providing technical expertise
when required.

2 Dimensional Measurements
2.1 Preparation
Parts may be controlled through the Coordinated Measuring
Machine (CMM) or through attributes using a certified control
device that considers the GD&T specifications.
2.2 Means of Control
In all cases the supplier is responsible to have a process control
plan.
2.2.1 Measurement using CMM or Scanning Technologies
When CMM or scanning technologies are specified, the
equipment shall meet all requirements as to calibration,
repeatability and reproducibility of the results.
2.2.2 Measurement by Attribute
In this process, the parts shall be submitted to attribute inspection
as to reference values resulting from previous inspection and
validation of a control fixture, based on GD&T concept. In this
case, the fixture dimensional report shall be submitted and the
parts control in the fixture shall depend on validation by PPO
Supplier Quality Engineering.
2.2.3 Free Form Holding Fixtures For all vehicle components
only (Powertrain suppliers skip to section 2.3.1)
Suppliers shall use a holding fixture that meets criteria specified in
Checking Fixture Standards and repeatability requirements for
repeatability (1 x 10). Fixture Datums must reflect GD&T callouts.
Free state requirements identified in GD&T must be followed (Ref.
GM1925 Fixture Standards).
Examples:
2.3 GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance)
2.3.1 Definition
GD&T is a procedure that integrates and standardizes the
interactions among quality, design and manufacturing process,
guaranteeing product dimensional, its manufacturing
specifications, and making sure full and functional
interchangeability of coupled parts through the application of
geometrical tolerances and admitting bonus in a few situations
and, consequently customizing the process and increasing its
capability.
For all vehicle components only, (not for Powertrain suppliers).
GD&T also includes feature control frames for Free State
checking requirements.
2.3.2 Application and responsibilities
Suppliers are charged the responsibility to “correctly apply the
GD&T concepts” and assuring any personnel directly
responsible for the development and validation phases of the
supplied products are fully updated and capable.
For dimensional requirements, refer to the GMW15745
GM Dimensional Management Supplier Minimum Standard.
GMW15745 Standard located via the following URL:
http://auto.ihs.com/collections/abstracts/gm-standards.htm
2.4 Measurement through 3D Comparison
2.4.1 Geometrical Elements Measurement and Qualification
When specified in drawings, the supplier shall perform
measurement of geometrical elements by observing the priorities
below:
Diameter, width, thickness and length, by observing the
shape regularity and element individual tolerance;
Application of GD&T tolerances and its modifiers (material
condition);
Calculation of true position, and other data based on
specifications detailed in 2D drawing.

SUPPLIER REQUIREMENTS GUIDELINE
PPQP Supplier Requirements Guideline Version 6 released 12-20-2018
2.4.2 Matching/Mating Surface Measurement
The matching area is understood as any surface area that has an
interface with any other part at assembly; this shall contain a
number of points to be controlled so as to assure conformance.
Example:
2.4.3 Trim Measurement
2.4.3 Trim Measurement
Trim measurement consists of measurements made in the
product end (edge), where the dimensional measurements shall
be carried as detailed in the example.
In continuous areas, spacing between measurement points may
be longer and in curvilinear areas (radius) spacing between
measurement points shall be smaller. Nevertheless, control shall
always be observed as to assure product conformance.
Example:
2.4.4 Surface Measurement
In more complex shapes, measurement between points shall be
less spaced and whenever possible they shall be taken in one
same section.
Examples:
2.4.5 Requirements for Part Mark-up (Vehicle Body and White critical parts only) (Powertrain suppliers – skip to section 3)
Note: For all points checked, only mark out-of-specification points on the part. Indicate the vehicle position and directional deviation from nominal of the checks that were out-of-specification, again using the following abbreviations: HI/LO, INB/OTB and FWD/AFT
Prerequisites to marking up a dimensional part:
Checking fixture has passed a Gage R study, 1X10, one operator, one part checked ten times.
Current GD&T and Checking Fixture Operating Procedure (OP).
Source has reviewed the requirements within this procedure.
Perform sight-checks for any holes, slots, cutouts, etc... If a hole is missing, a new part is required. Write on each part in black or yellow permanent marker or paint pen: part name, part number, engineering change level, run date, MRD, and the part’s identifying sequence number. Load and clamp the parts onto the checking fixture according to the OP/GD&T Instructions. Location, size and corresponding clamping sequence for all of the checking fixture datums should be drawn on the part in yellow/black. Also label each datums corresponding GD&T call-out in yellow/black.

Conduct a Free State Datum Check (FSDC). Use the part material thickness criteria specified within the Free State Datum Definitions document. Record the FSDC results onto the part in yellow/black utilizing the following note: FSDC______ mm. If the Free State Check fails, Integration Vehicle Build Team approval is required prior to part submission. Measure specified GD&T holes, slots, cutouts etc., for size in two directions, using calipers or other appropriate measuring device. All holes that are out-of-specification for size must be marked on the part in white permanent marker or paint pen. Denote the actual hole size measured and record to the nearest 0.1mm for each direction. Readings that are out-of-specification for variable surface (flush) measurements that were taken on the periphery of the part, per the checking routine, must be recorded on the part in red. Use a “dot with attached line” symbol to indicate where the exact measurements were out-of-specification on the part, see example (Attachment E2). Surface features not contained in the periphery check (example: surfaces on the interior of the part), must be evaluated against the checking fixture features, e.g. swing templates.
Readings that are out-of-specification for variable trim (gap) measurements that were taken on the periphery of the part, per the checking routine, must be recorded on the part in yellow. Use a “yellow arrow” symbol to indicate where the exact measurements were taken on the part. 2.5 Assembly Joining Quality Verification
All assembly joining methods shall be verified in accordance
to the following requirements within this section. The
supplier shall provide quality reports to GM Supplier Quality
for each joining method used based upon the applicable
GMW standard. The supplier may request for GM approval
any exception or deviation to the standard and/or Sampling
Plan during the Program Check Strategy Review with GM
Product Engineering.

3. Inspection Requirement
3.1 Sampling Plan
Samples shall be arranged to assure conformance to both
handling and control, thus avoiding the parts to be furnished
present any rust points, injection points, cracks, distortions, burrs,
misshaped areas etc.
Unless otherwise specified by GM, the minimum amount of parts
to be submitted to full inspection is as follows:
GENERAL MOTORS PRE-PRODUCTION PART QUALITY PROCESS (PPQP) PRE-PRODUCTION/ PROTOTYPE
SUPPLIER REQUIREMENTS GUIDELINE
PPQP Supplier Requirements Guideline Version 6 released 12-20-2018
Supplier to provide 10 CONFORMING CMM checked parts.
Supplier required to check the first 3 parts per DES file provided.
Remaining 7 checks will be used at discretion of SQE/VDQM/DRE.
Parts must meet the minimum regional dimensional Requirements:
- (GMNA-PPO Vehicle only – 85%)
- (SGM – PPO Vehicle only – 80%)
- (GMK – PPO Vehicle only – 85%)
- (GMB – PPO Vehicle only – 85%)
Supplier is responsible to have Quality Process Control Plan in place to maintain minimum dimensional, functional and quality requirements.
Exceptions to this sampling plan may be required if determined by
GM at the checking strategy approval meeting.
The supplier should review the inspection data on the required
parts to determine part to part variations are within an acceptable
range and that no parts will be statistically out of print tolerance
based on the batch size of the order.
In case of any discontinuous variation that is likely to jeopardize
the capability of assembling and/or functionality, then the whole
batch shall be inspected 100% until process is deemed in control.
Remark: Whenever Key Characteristics are indicated in a
drawing these features shall be inspected for all parts (100%)
(Refer to item 1.5)
For parts that are delivered to GM as a final assembly, (ie parts
delivered from a Tier 2 to a Tier 1) the Tier 1 supplier is required
to retain inspection documentations for the sub-components and
any pertinent documentation for the assembly processes (staking
load, press-in load, etc.) that form the final assembled part. This
information will be made available to GM upon request. Tier 1
suppliers are responsible to ensure that all of their tiered
suppliers perform inspection in accordance to the inspection
requirements. Tiered suppliers will serialize parts so that the
inspection data can be correlated.
The dimensional measurements shall be representative and the
supplier shall have an internal process control plan to assure that
the item in the different process steps are in control, by collecting
samples at random.
GM reserves the right to audit the Supplier’s process control at
any time.
3.2.1 PPQP Parts procured with a M Suffix (Measured)
GM will require certain suppliers to fully inspected parts
using an “M” suffix as a PLS. This will be specified on the
purchase order, when required. M suffix parts shall require
the supplier to bubble the print for each dimension and
record the feature, tolerance and measurement in a
spreadsheet of other approved document. The inspection
documentation shall be sent to GM regardless of the
conformance to the design record.
Design Responsible Suppliers - Suppliers who own the
design responsibility will certify that the parts have been
100% inspected.
The design responsible supplier shall provide GM with the
interface dimensions, and the supplier design measurements
will be retained by the supplier.
3.3 Serialization
The serialization shall be engraved in all parts to assure proper
tracking using the example shown:
Identify parts by linking the part number and DLS, PLS according
to the Bill of Materials. The combination is given with the
Purchase Order.
This marking shall be indelible (i.e., using electrical pen, type,
industrial marker etc.), and shall not compromise the item
conformance, i.e., it shall not cause any distortions to samples nor
compromising the part function nor appearance. Contact the GM
representative to evaluate alternatives when the serialization
process will compromise part quality or performance.
Tiered suppliers shall also serialize their subcomponent parts so that inspection data can be correlated.
The serial number is continued only as long as the design level is
maintained. If production of a new design level of a specific part
number has started, the serial numbers start again with ‘0001.’
Note: Reworked parts require a new serial number.
GENERAL MOTORS PRE-PRODUCTION PART QUALITY PROCESS (PPQP) PRE-PRODUCTION/ PROTOTYPE
SUPPLIER REQUIREMENTS GUIDELINE
PPQP Supplier Requirements Guideline Version 6 released 12-20-2018
The serial number is to be configured as follows:
Example: S-0001, S-0002, S-0003.
3.4 Part Identification & Container Labels
3.4.1 PPQP Part Identification and Traceability
Suppliers must utilize the PPQP-3 Pre-Production Part Tag for all
Pre-Production/Prototype parts.
3.4.2 PPQP Part Identification for fully inspected parts (M Suffix)
The M suffix will allow the part to be stored separately and
identified for engineering review as it is received in the
warehouse. The parts should be tagged, serialized (if
possible, checking with DRE for approved location) and
individually packaged (if possible). The supplier should use
the part number(s) ordered on the PO.
Example: 90578945 D M
PLS
PPQP-3 Pre-Production Part Tag
3.4.3 Shipping Container Label
All containers must be identified with the PPQP-4 Pre-Production
Container Label. The container shall assure that parts will be duly
arranged, thus preventing any distortion or damage during
transportation. The Container label shall be fixed outside the
container in an easily visible location.
PPQP-4 Pre-Production Container Label
3.5 Shipping & Containerization Requirements
Supplier is responsible for packaging and containing Pre-
Production material in a manner that will prevent
part/component damage during shipment. Pre-Production
packaging standards are available on GM Supply Power.
