AS9145 defines the order in which a new part is planned, designed, industrialised, validated and approved. DO.Impact runs the project itself — phases, gate checklists, PFMEA, control plans and the PPAP element list — so programme status is always visible instead of living in a spreadsheet.
In short
DO.Impact runs AS9145 as a gated NPI project: the five APQP phases with checklists and owners, PFMEA and control plans in the flow, and an 18-element PPAP checklist through to the Part Submission Warrant — 12 of 17 mapped requirements managed end-to-end.

Voice of the Customer notes and the gated Bid & Contract Review capture requirements, special characteristics and flow-downs before the programme plan is built. The business case and goals sit on the NPI project header with management visibility.
Process risk is assessed where the process is defined. PFMEA with severity, occurrence and detection feeds the control plan, and both stay linked to the part and the gate checklist — not in a separate tool the team forgets to update.
All 18 PPAP elements are tracked with owner and status — design records, engineering changes, DFMEA, PFMEA, control plan, MSA, capability, material and performance results — so the Part Submission Warrant is a confirmation, not a discovery exercise.
Phase 5 connects back to the running plant: the approved process moves into scheduling and daily management, and lessons learned feed standard work so the next programme starts smarter.
AS9145 is a project standard: it defines the order in which a new part is planned, designed, industrialised, validated and approved. DO.Impact runs the project itself — phases, gate checklists, PFMEA, control plans and the PPAP element list — so the programme status is always visible rather than living in a spreadsheet. Across 17 requirements: 12 managed end-to-end, 4 partly supported, 1 honestly outside the boundary.
| Area of the standard | Managed | Partly supported | Outside the boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 — Planning | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Phase 2 — Product design and development | 0 | 2 | 1 |
| Phase 3 — Process design and development | 3 | 1 | 0 |
| Phase 4 — Product and process validation | 3 | 1 | 0 |
| Phase 5 — Feedback, assessment and corrective action | 3 | 0 | 0 |
Drawings, DFMEA owned by the design authority, capability data from your measurement system and customer PPAP portals sit outside the suite. DO.Impact tracks whether each element is complete and who owns it.
AS9145 is the aerospace standard for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). It defines five phases — planning, product design, process design, product and process validation, and ongoing production — ending in a Part Submission Warrant.
Each new part runs as an NPI project with phase gate checklists, risks, milestones and owners. Voice of the Customer and contract review feed Phase 1, PFMEA and control plans carry Phases 2–4, and the PPAP element checklist tracks all 18 submission elements through to the warrant.
Yes. The PPAP checklist tracks each of the 18 elements — design records, DFMEA, PFMEA, control plan, MSA, capability studies, material and performance results, and the rest — with owner and status per element, up to the Part Submission Warrant.
Drawings, DFMEA owned by the design authority, raw capability data from your measurement system and customer PPAP portals stay outside the suite. DO.Impact tracks whether each element is complete, who owns it, and when it is due.
AS9145 is written for aviation, space and defence, but the same five-phase discipline is the aerospace expression of automotive APQP/PPAP. DO.Impact runs the same gated structure for any manufacturer that launches parts to a customer approval process.
