The production part approval package submitted to automotive customers: the evidence that the design, process and controls produce parts that meet every requirement at production rate.
Release package Work product in the Automotive and safety-critical lifecycle and the Power and compound semiconductor lifecycle

The full lifecycle detail, with its charts, flows, tables and every section, is for registered members. Registration is free and takes a minute. You come back to this page afterwards.
