What are the five levels of PPAP?

The five levels of PPAP correspond to different degrees of documentation required for approval. They range from Level 1, which requires minimal submission, to Level 5, necessitating a full PPAP submission with part samples and complete supporting data. Each level provides varying assurance levels that the supplier understands and complies with the customer's requirements, allowing for flexibility based on the complexity of the parts and customer needs.
