Program stage
Identify prototype, PPAP, production, service, or aftermarket context and the current change status.
Automotive OEM & Aftermarket request guide
Automotive requests, built around program needs.
Share the part definition, vehicle or assembly context, PPAP and inspection inputs, quantities, packaging, release pattern, and change status. Pearson reviews the request before confirming a manufacturing path.
- Program inputs defined
- PPAP scope identified
- Timing reviewed per request
Capability review
This page describes common request types. Available processes, equipment, tolerances, inspection, documentation, and fulfillment are confirmed for each quote.
Overview
Connect the drawing to the program.
Automotive requests need more than geometry. The review should connect CTQ features, change status, documentation, release quantities, assembly instructions, labeling, and packaging to one controlled baseline.
Functional definition
Mark datums, fits, threads, interfaces, finish boundaries, and assembly-critical features.
Release requirements
State quantity pattern, labeling, packaging, kitting, and requested documentation for review.
Industry request review
Automotive standards, supplier qualifications, PPAP content, manufacturing route, records, and timing are reviewed per request; no program status is implied.
Quote inputs
Inputs for an automotive program review.
Provide the current controlled baseline and identify which program, release, and evidence inputs apply.
- Request contexts
- Prototype parts, PPAP lots, repeat releases, service components, aftermarket kits, and assemblies
- Material inputs
- Specified alloy or polymer, condition, stock or casting state, substitutions, and finish requirements
- Critical requirements
- Datum scheme, CTQs, threads, weld symbols, assembly notes, control-plan inputs, and acceptance criteria
- Helpful files
- Current model and drawing, BOM, PPAP list, quantities, release pattern, labels, and packaging notes

- 01
Share the controlled request
Provide the current drawing, model, revision, automotive oem and aftermarket context, quantity, and target timing.
- 02
Review requirements and authority
Identify governing documents, precedence, approved substitutions, restricted data, and customer-controlled decisions.
- 03
Map process and evidence needs
Connect material, geometry, interfaces, process history, finish, inspection, documentation, and packaging requirements.
- 04
Confirm the quoted baseline
Pearson confirms accepted scope, routing, records, timing, and open questions before work proceeds.
Request readiness
Six details that improve automotive review.
Make functional, process, evidence, and release expectations explicit before quoting.
Design intent before assumptions
- 01
Stabilize the datum scheme.
Connect A-B-C datums to assembly interfaces and identify only function-critical relationships.
- 02
Complete thread callouts.
State thread form, class, depth, insert requirements, access direction, and gage expectation.
- 03
Show tool access.
Identify deep pockets, relief areas, obstructed features, and any allowed alternate operation.
- 04
Control weldment intent.
Provide weld symbols, sequence constraints, fixture datums, and post-weld machining allowance.
- 05
Define finish boundaries.
Name the finish, controlled revision, affected surfaces, masking, edge condition, and appearance notes.
- 06
List PPAP inputs.
Identify level, control plan, gage R&R, capability-study request, templates, and approval authority.

FAQ
Automotive request questions.
These answers explain the request inputs without promising program scope, evidence, or manufacturing result.
Submit the required PPAP level, element list, templates, supplier qualifications, and approval authority. Scope and evidence are confirmed during review.
Provide the BOM, drawings, assembly instructions, torque and marking notes, packaging, quantities, and acceptance criteria for review.
No route is assumed. Component, process, supplier, program, documentation, quantity, and timing inputs are reviewed before a path is confirmed.
Identify the datums, CTQs, fits, and relationships that affect assembly or function. Achievable requirements are assessed from the drawing.
State total quantity, release pattern, change status, labeling, packaging, kitting, and requested records.
Provide the current model and drawing, BOM, PPAP list, control-plan inputs, finish notes, quantities, and target timing.
