Production readiness is a cross-functional decision. Product maturity, manufacturing capability, supplier performance, quality controls and launch support must converge into a credible plan for starting series production.
Use the applicable project plan, approved engineering requirements and quality procedures as the authority for exact criteria. This guide provides a transferable structure; it does not replace customer-specific or company-approved requirements.
This phase consolidates accepted product and process evidence into a practical readiness review. Confirm the PPAP status, manufacturing-line readiness, supplier capacity, quality controls, open-risk closure and launch responsibilities. Prepare the next APQP review by making remaining actions explicit, owned and time-bound.
Use the approved APQP grid and applicable customer procedure for exact acceptance criteria; this public guide is a practical summary, not a substitute for controlled requirements.
See the APQP phase-to-gate map →PRATIXUS guidance: adapt this checklist to the product, manufacturing process, supplier setup and applicable customer requirements. Avoid sharing confidential project records in public resources.
