## Prompt

```text
Help me prepare a Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) submission.

**Customer and their requirements:** [customer name and any customer-specific PPAP manual or portal rules]
**Part number, revision, and description:** [DETAILS]
**Submission level requested:** [Level 1-5; Level 3 if not stated]
**Reason for submission:** [new part / engineering change / tooling transfer / new supplier or material / process change]
**Due date:** [DATE]
**What we already have:** [LIST documents done, e.g. "PFMEA done, control plan draft, no MSA yet"]
**Production trial run details:** [planned or completed run size, date, line]

Give me:
1. A checklist of all 18 PPAP elements (design records, engineering change documents, customer engineering approval, DFMEA, process flow, PFMEA, control plan, MSA, dimensional results, material/performance test results, initial process studies, qualified lab documentation, appearance approval report, sample parts, master sample, checking aids, customer-specific requirements, Part Submission Warrant), marking which are required to be submitted vs. retained at my level.
2. For each element: status (done / in progress / missing), what "complete" looks like, and common rejection reasons (e.g. dimensional results not covering every print characteristic, capability studies from too few parts, MSA not on the gauges actually used, documents at different revision levels).
3. A backward-scheduled plan from the due date, showing the critical path (usually the trial run, then dimensional layout and capability studies).
4. A draft note to the customer quality engineer if any element will be late, asking about interim approval.

Check the customer's own manual, which overrides the generic AIAG requirements. Do not fill in results or approvals; mark them [ADD].
