Supports early identification of potential process failures and preventive safeguards.
Quality / APQP & PPAP
APQP & PPAP
Structured quality planning and documented validation from project review through production approval.
Start an RFQ
Quality planning before production
A controlled route to production approval.
Project requirements are translated into structured planning, process-risk review, validation and documented approval before serial production.

Planning the production route.
RIVIMETAL follows APQP methodology from feasibility through process preparation and final approval, with process risks and applicable customer requirements considered from the start.
Define manufacturing and inspection steps with clear control points for the project.
Document the controls and reaction strategy required for the production process.
Applicable customer-specific requirements are incorporated into planning and validation.

03PPAP / Approval
Documented production approval.
Following process preparation, documented validation supports the transition toward production approval and serial manufacture.
The defined production route is reviewed and supported by documented quality evidence.
First Article Inspection is conducted at tool release with dimensional reporting.
PPAP provides the documented production-approval stage before serial production.
Measurement & process control
Validation connects to ongoing control.
Measurement and process-control methods support documented validation and the stability of serial production according to project requirements.
Testing & MeasurementSPC
Applied according to project requirements to monitor defined process parameters.
MSA
Supports confirmation of measurement-system capability and repeatability.
In-house quality control and testing
Quality-control activity is connected directly with validation and serial production.
From approval to serial production
From RFQ to Serial Production
Approval is a production transition, not the end of control.
