Our Verdict
The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) course on Udemy offers a solid high-level overview and practical approach to understanding the 18-step process of consistently manufacturing new parts according to customer expectations. Boasting real-world examples, downloadable templates for PPAP forms, and valuable cost savings through an included manual, this course is an appealing choice for those in Quality Management roles or interested in manufacturing processes.
