Vehicle and Manufacturing Parts Progress
(VPP and MPP) System Description
• VPP and MPP are the online data management
& tracking systems for Global Phased PPAP
• VPP for Vehicle, MPP for Powertrain
• These systems allow STA and New Model
Program teams to track part Phased PPAP
status
• These systems report Approval or Rejection of
Global Phased PPAP Submission warrants
• VPP and MPP generate reports by part,
supplier, or program
VPP/MPP Sourcing and Data Input
Background
• When a new purchased part is released in CMMS, an
Authority To Proceed (ATP) is automatically sent to
Purchasing for sourcing.
• Once the part is sourced, CMMS begins monitoring the
part throughout the Phased PPAP approval process.
• Suppliers are responsible for managing and maintaining
the part status in VPP/MPP by entering up-to-date status
and timing until the Phased PPAP process is completed.
• Note: Ford does not enter the PPAP disposition into
VPP/MPP, that is a supplier responsibility.
Supplier Responsibilities

Supplier Responsibilities (continued)
Extract from the full VPP/MPP training showing MPP/VPP Supplier Responsibilities
1. Twice a day - check for new parts entering the system on screen FLGA (see next slide for the MPP/VPP process flow.
a. Check in the morning & afternoon
i. Monday through Friday
ii. No weekends
iii. No Ford Motor Company Holidays
b. Provide timing information within 24 hours of part entering the system.
i. Enter a "P" for promise
ii. Enter a date for the expected completion of each of the four phases of the PPAP,
including Run-at-Rate, Quality, Production and Capacity
c. Or, challenge the part if a date cannot be typed or is not a part sourced to your site
i. Challenges are used to indicate unresolved issues
d. If the promise date(s) is late to any of the required date, you must type a Support Plan.
2. Two weeks prior to the completion of a PPAP Phase, you must verify that you are still on schedule.
a. If you are still on schedule to complete a particular phase of the PPAP, type a "V" for verified
b. If you cannot make the current promise, you must change your date and provide a slip code
to explain the date change
3. On the day your part is scheduled to complete a phase of the PPAP, by 3:00pm (EDT) you must:
a. Enter a "Y" for "yes," we are ready for inspection, or
b. Change your promise date and provide the appropriate slip code to explain the date change.
If necessary, provide a support plan if a build phase is affected by your date change
c. When Capacity Promise is changed to "Y", you must also type a valid weekly capacity
4. Continue to progress your parts through the various condition codes until they have reach 99 –
PPAP Approved where it is considered fully PPAP approved.
a. Once in condition code 99, your work on the part in VPP is complete and no further supplier
action is required in VPP
MPP/VPP process flow
Using CMMS/VPP/MPP to Report PPAPs
Common Materials Management System (CMMS)
• Suppliers need a RACF-ID and password to access
CMMS
• Supplier access to VPP/MPP is via the Ford Supplier
Portal (FSP)
• Supplier needs access to CMMS (VPP/MPP) for both
mfg. site and ship codes
• Supplier uses CMMS to report part timing status
(planning and end-result) in achieving PPAP
• Supplier records STA decision on Phased PPAP
submissions in VPP/MPP
Supplier Access to CMMS and VPP/MPP
External suppliers must follow these steps to obtain access
to VPP/MPP
• The supplier user completes the VPP/MPP Supplier
Access Form shown on the next page and sends it to the
supplier’s Corporate Security Administrator (CSA)
• If the supplier user or the CSA does not have a RACF-
ID, that can also be requested on the form
• The CSA completes the CSA-specific fields on the form
and sends the form to VPP@ford.com
• The supplier user and CSA completes the training
identified on the form
VPP/MPP Supplier Access Form
This form is
also available
through
https://web.qpr.f
ord.com/sta/Pha
sed_PPAP.html
VPP/MPP Supplier Data Input
Suppliers are required to complete each phase:
by entering correct dates and corresponding codes in the

‘Verification Promises’ field in VPP/MPP:
• Enter ‘P’ code when indicating a “Promise date”.
• Enter ‘V’ code when indicating “Verified promise date” (2-
weeks ahead confirmation that all Phased PPAP
requirements will be completed by the promise date).
• Enter ‘Y’ code when indicating “Ready-for-STA-
Inspection” (all Phased PPAP requirements successfully
completed).
Note: be sure to select “V” for vehicle parts and “M” for Powertrain parts
when prompted on the CMMS screens
Supplier Verification Promises Input and
approval codes
Code Description
Promise input codes
P Supplier input promise for PPAP phase
V Supplier input verification that promise date is still valid
Y Supplier input “Ready for Inspection” indicating all PPAP
requirements have been met, as declared by the supplier
Approval codes
Q System generated approval for supplier input of “Y” where the
supplier has PPAP level 1 for the primary manufacturing site
A Record of supplier input of STA approval for non level 1 supplier
I Record of supplier input of STA interim acceptance of PPAP
R Supplier input of rejection of PPAP submission, any PPAP level
VPP/MPP PPAP Approval Process
• For PPAP Level 1 suppliers:
– VPP/MPP automatically grants approval of a “Y” (Ready for
STA Inspection) submission
– “Q” appears in the Quality Approval column unless STA or
the supplier overrides with “I” (Interim Accept) or “R”
(Reject)
• For PPAP Level 3 and 5 suppliers:
– STA reviews PPAP submission and either Approves, or
Interim Accepts or Rejects the PSW and sends the PSW
back to the supplier
– Supplier enters STA decision – “A” “I” or “R” – in the
VPP/MPP Part Details screen ‘Verification Promises’
column
Note: see slide 29 for an explanation of the “I” Interim Acceptance status
VPP/MPP Reporting for PPAP Level 1
• Once the supplier has self approved the PPAP Phase,
the supplier enters a “Y”, (“Ready for Inspection”). The
system then automatically enters “Q” in the Quality
Approval field, representing system approval.
• If the supplier has “Interim Accepted” or “Rejected” its
own submission, the supplier enters “Y” (Ready for
Inspection) and then overrides the “Y” with “I” (Interim
Accept) or “R” (Reject) in the VPP/MPP “Verification
Promises” field on the FOGA screen.
• VPP/MPP then electronically transfers the supplier I/R

entry into the Quality Approval field and reinstates the
supplier original “Y” entry with time/date stamp.

VPP/MPP Reporting for PPAP Levels 3 and 5
The supplier submits the PPAP evidence to the STA engineer for
each phase, showing compliance to all PPAP requirements for each
Phase, as specified in Phased PPAP handbook
https://web.qpr.ford.com/sta/Phased_PPAP_Requirements_Handbook.pdf and then
enters “Y” (“Ready for Inspection”) in the Verification Promises field.
Once STA has approved, interim accepted or rejected the PPAP
submission the Supplier is responsible for entering STA’s decision in
VPP/MPP on the FOGA screen.
• Supplier enters “A”, “I” or “R” in the VPP/MPP ‘Verification Promises’

field.
• VPP/MPP electronically transfers the supplier A/I/R entry into the
Quality Approval field and reinstates the supplier original ‘Y’ entry
with time/date stamp.
VPP/MPP Reporting for PPAP Levels 3 and 5
Detailed Explanation of Supplier Input
The goal of the supplier input of STA approval is to ensure the
supplier is maintaining the approval status of its parts in VPP / MPP.
Key points to remember are:
• Suppliers can only enter data in the Verification Promises area of
the CMMS FOGA screen (see the following slides)
• CMMS highlights updateable fields by showing them as green on
the black CMMS screens, other fields not highlighted as green are
not updateable
• Each type of user has different updateable fields in CMMS, so an
STA engineer will not be able to demonstrate to a supplier which
fields are updateable by the supplier
• The following slides show how a supplier can update the part
approval status in CMMS FOGA

Updating the PPAP Submission Level in
CMMS
The PPAP submission level for a particular part / supplier may be overridden using the
VPP FOGA screen
• The PPAP submission level (1, 3 or 5) for all parts from a supplier site defaults to the
PPAP submission level identified in GSDB and SIM for the manufacturing site code
• Where a part is identified as Priority in the Supplier Engagement Process for launch,
or any other reason for changing the PPAP level for the specific part, the PPAP
submission level for the part/supplier combination may be overridden by entering the
updated PPAP level (for example, 5 for a Priority part) in the “OVRD Level” field on
the FOGA screen (see next screen)
• Buyers, STA and the supplier are authorized to make this update
• Once OVRD Level is entered, the approval of the Ready for Inspection status (Y) will
be governed by the OVRD PPAP level, not the PPAP submission level next to the
mfg site code on the FOGA screen
• The PPAP level next to the mfg site code on the FOGA screen is not updated by the
PPAP override entered into the OVRD level field

Challenges, Slips and Support Plans
• Where a supplier needs to challenge the assignment of a
part number or any other issue with the data in CMMS
assigned to the supplier, the supplier may enter a
challenge code with supporting details – slide 34
• Where a supplier needs to change a PPAP Phase
promise date to a later date, but still supporting the
required program timing, the supplier can enter a reason
code (slip code with comments) – slide 35
• Where a supplier cannot meet program timing, a support
plan is required to explain how the supplier will meet the
program requirements, even without PPAP approval –
slide 36
These situations are described in the following slides 33
