Schneider Electric is a global company founded in 1836 that operates in over 190 countries. It has over 185,000 employees and focuses on electricity management and automation. The document discusses Part/Product Evaluation Plans (PPEPs), which are tools used to qualify parts and ensure supplier quality. PPEPs contain requirements to verify part specifications, supplier process capability, end product performance, and manufacturing impact. They are required for new parts or process changes and are completed by cross-functional qualification teams. Key areas of a PPEP include requirements selection, roles and responsibilities, and storing the approved plan in Symphony.

What is Part/Product Evaluation
Plan(PPEP)?
●The Part Product Evaluation Plan (PPEP) is the tool that supports the
Supply Qualification Module (SQM). It is part of Schneider Supplier
Qualification Management (SSQM) process.
●The PPEP tool provides a check-list of qualification requirements to
ensure that :
● The part meets specifications, at T0
● The supplier process is capable, at T0 and the Quality Control Plan and all other planed
activities (like Set up, Maintenance, calibration, …) contributing to quality & service level
demonstrate that the supplier ability to deliver parts as per desired quality and quantity in a
sustained manner
● The performance of Schneider Electric’s end product is satisfactory
●PPEP contains all requirements (Technical, Quality, Logistics).
6. 6FORCE ACTION
Why use Part/Product Evaluation
Plan(PPEP)?
SQM goal is to identify all the necessary requirements As soon as
possible
•All functional requirements included into one common check-list (PPEP form)
• Must provide adequate detail/definition so all parties understand
requirements
Qualification Team considers 4 questions:
• How will we verify that the part satisfies the specifications?
• How will we verify that the supplier process is capable?
• How will we verify the Schneider end-product performance?
• How will we verify the Schneider manufacturing impact?
7. 7FORCE ACTION
When shall I do a PPEP ?
●A PPEP form is required on a part for each combination of
supplier process and Schneider Electric (SE) entity
● Parts : all recurrent customized supplies of components, sub-assemblies &
brand label products.
● Supplier process: Example: 2 molds at the same supplier => 2 PPEPs
●PPEP is mandatory for
● all parts in PMP.
● all parts in PEP.
● all supplier transfers, double sourcing, duplication of existing tools
or processes and major changes in suppliers process (as per the
SGB)
● all production transfers between SE entities on all critical parts .
●PPEP is recommended on
● All critical internal supplies

items,
Parts criticality has to be understood as the severity as per FTD00598.

Process :-
The Basic Principle of Compression Moulding is that the Plastic
Material becomes fluid under the influence of Heat and Pressure
And the material forced into the Mould.
Factors that Influence Compression Moulding:-
Temperature
Pressure
Cure Time
Venting

Injection Molding of Thermosets
●Process Overview
Thermosetting plastic injection molding using a screw or a plunger to
polymer by a heated cylinder (120 ~ 260F) to reduce viscosity, and then
injected into a heated mold (300-450F).
Once the material is full of mold, that is, its packing.
At this point chemical cross-linking, the polymer hardens. Hard (ie, cured)
product can be hot out from the top of the mold, it can not re-forming or re-
melting.
