Bill Rattner UX Director

Texas Instruments is an American information technology company specializing in the design and manufacturing of semiconductors and integrated circuits. We embarked on the creation of a novel application tailored to automate the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). This standardized process, widely utilized in the automotive and aerospace industries, facilitates communication and approval of concepts and production processes between manufacturers and suppliers—both before, during, and after the manufacturing phase.

THE CHALLENGE

Customers faced a challenge in purchasing auto parts for their designs, as they were required to meticulously examine and approve each product, navigating through the lengthy and costly Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). This manual procedure proved time-consuming and expensive, significantly impacting the timely acquisition of products. Customers experienced frustration as the request for a PPAP could lead to delays of weeks or even months, resulting in late orders.

The Challenge was to automate this process.

The first iteration has been successfully developed, concentrating on automating Level 1 PPAPs, which are less intricate. Subsequent releases will extend automation to all PPAPs, ensuring immediate availability. This enhancement is geared towards simplifying the PPAP process for engineers, designers, and TI customer service agents.
