Action taken for non-capable process The modified control method shall include techniques to incorporate mistake
(PPAP Ppk < 1.67 or Production Ppk < 1.33) proofing methods into the manufacturing process to prevent the shipment of
non compliant product to Ford facilities.
Note: examples of mistake proofing methods include the modification of

poke-yoke), or a gauge to ensure product compliance to specification where the
process does not meet the capability requirements. This is not the addition of a
temporary manual inspection process at the end of the line.

the specification deviations with the interim PPAP submission.
DFMEA Classification (YS, YC) Classification as identified on the DFMEA as "Potential Critical Characteristic"
(YC) or "Potential Signficant Characteristic" (YS).
PFMEA Classification (CC, SC, HI, Other) Classification as identified by the PFMEA. Other characteristics are print
requirements that are not identified as Special Characteristics
On Production Control Plan (Y/N) Is the characteristic contained on the production control plan of the reporting
supplier?
Manufacturing Operation Identifier Supplier's Production Manufacturing Operation identifier is a code or number
unique to the operation identified on the process flow chart and process control
plan
Pass Through Characteristic (PTC) (Y/N) A Pass through Characteristic (PTC) is a product characteristic whose fit or
function qualities are not validated, verified or functionally tested within the
manufacturing or assembly process in question (external suppliers and
internally Ford-made parts). PTC are generally finished characteristics with part
print tolerances or specifications that are not verified in house or at the supplier,
and where defective parts can be passed on to the customer (defined as Vehicle
Operations or the buying public).
Examples may include:
Engine Thermostats
Torque Converter studs
Cylinder Head – FEAD mounting holes
Transmission Case – Starter mounting holes
Threaded hole supplied by an external supplier, not used in Powertrain Plant
Error Proofed (Y/N) Does the characteristic have an error proof method? This is required for CCs
and Ford identified PTCs.
Process Control Method How are the parts inspected or measured? If the control method is different than
the method identified on the Special Characteristics Agreement then report the
reasons in the Comments / Actions Taken cell.
Characteristic dependent on sub-supplier (Include PTC) Does the characteristic control require process control at a sub-supplier? This
(Y/N) applies to all characteristics classifications and include PTCs.
Study Parameters Study parameters refers to the sample size and population where the capability
study data is collected
Population What is the population (or estimate) size that contains the samples?
Sample Size How many pieces are contained in the inspection results data set?
Evidence: Number of Points Not in Control Report the number of data points not in control. Out of control coniditions occur
when there is data outside the control limits. An out of control condition for the
X-bar chart is defined as 1 point greater or less than 3 standard deviations from
the mean. If more that 1 data point is not in-control then action is required.
Distribution Analysis The data distribution needs to be evaluated and identified for the appropriate
capability analysis calculation. For example, a normal distribution test requires
a P-value greater than 0.05 to assume normality. Non-normal data requires data
transformation
Distribution Type Select the type of distribution identified for the capability analysis. Refer to a
known distributions based on the physics or specific types of process available
through your STA engineer.
Resultant P-value or Best Fit Coefficient Report the distribution fit statistical hypothesis p-value or the best fit coefficient
from the distribution identification fit technique as appropriate
