APQP Deliverables for OEM Silicone Hose Projects

For automotive Tier 1 / Tier 2 silicone hose OEM programs, APQP deliverables represent the complete quality-planning documentation package prior to series-production release. Hotop generates and submits project-specific quality records aligned with AIAG-APQP guidelines, eliminating documentation gaps before PPAP submission and SOP handover.

Request Sample & Level 3 PPAP Package

Hotop Standard APQP-PPAP Document Scope

Our default submission follows PPAP Level 3, the baseline requirement for most automotive serial projects. We adjust submission levels (Level 1-4) according to your SQE’s customer-specific requirements.

Engineering & Risk-Planning Documents

• DFMEA (Design FMEA): design-risk analysis, applied for supplier-responsible design scope
• PFMEA (Process FMEA): manufacturing-failure-mode risk assessment for silicone hose mandrel forming, layup, curing and finishing
• Process Flow Diagram: end-to-end manufacturing map from raw silicone compounds to finished hose shipment
• Production Control Plan: aligned directly with PFMEA; defines inspection points, measurement methods, sampling frequency and reaction plans for deviations
• Gauge / MSA Measurement System Analysis for critical and special characteristics

Validation & Test Documentation

• Dimensional layout reports (ballooned drawing inspection results against customer controlled drawings)
• Material certification records for silicone compounds, reinforcement fabrics and liner materials
• Performance validation test reports: burst pressure, pulse fatigue, thermal cycling, aging, media compatibility testing
• Golden sample documentation and traceability records for pre-production parts

Automotive Compliance Material Declarations

• Complete IMDS submission & confirmation reports
• REACH, RoHS and ELV compliance documentation as required for automotive component supply
• Subsupplier material traceability records

PPAP Formal Submission Package

• Part Submission Warrant (PSW)
• Run-at-rate production records
• Initial process capability study (Cpk) for designated special characteristics
• Customer-specific requirement matrix & closure evidence
• 8D reporting template for post-submission nonconformity resolution

All documents are project-controlled and traceable; revisions are managed via formal ECN change control before and after SOP.

How these deliverables fit within your OEM project flow

These documents are built progressively across the OEM Workflow: DFM review > tooling fabrication > prototype validation > final APQP package consolidation > PPAP submission. Full APQP-PPAP approval serves as the formal approval gate, before transferring program governance into our Series Production Control process.

Clarification of scope

• Where the customer retains full design ownership, Hotop executes PFMEA, process control and validation activities based on your released drawings and specifications.
• Where Hotop undertakes co-design work, DFMEA is also delivered as part of the deliverable set.

Navigate Within Our OEM Program

You have previously reviewed OEM Workflow and Tooling & NDA. Once APQP-PPAP documentation gains customer sign-off, project governance transfers to Series Production Control for stable serial supply. View real-world program references at OEM Case Study.
