LET NITROUS DO THE HEAVY-LIFTING

Paperwork doesn't build parts. Your engineers do. Nitrous handles the paperwork so they can focus on the engineering.

PFMEA, Control Plan, ballooned drawing, dimensional results, PSW. All generated. All linked. Change one thing and everything downstream updates itself.

Your quality engineer reviews every document because their name goes on the PSW. Nitrous does the heavy lifting. Your team owns the final call.

NUMBERS DON'T LIE

The cost of manual PPAP. Industry averages across IATF 16949 certified Tier 2 and Tier 3 automotive suppliers.

A single PPAP rejection costs your shop a week of rework, resubmission, and production delays. Multiply that across 10 active part numbers. The math is simple: every hour your team spends in Excel is an hour they're not spending on the shop floor.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions get asked and we try to provide all the answers we can. If we missed something, let us know alright?

How does Nitrous generate PPAP documents without knowing my process?

You start by describing your manufacturing process or uploading your engineering drawings. Nitrous reads the drawing specs and generates a draft PFMEA, Control Plan, ballooned drawing, and dimensional results based on the part type, material, operations, and tolerances it extracts. Your quality engineer reviews every document before submission. Nitrous learns your shop's processes over time and gets more accurate with every PPAP you build.

Will my OEM accept a PPAP generated by Nitrous?

Yes. Every document Nitrous generates follows the current AIAG-VDA format. PFMEAs use the 7-step process with Action Priority, not the old RPN method. Control Plans follow the standard AIAG template. Ballooned drawings follow ASME Y14.5 conventions. We also support customer-specific requirements for Ford, GM, Stellantis, and Toyota so your submission matches the exact format your OEM expects. Your quality engineer reviews and signs the PSW just like they do today.

Can Nitrous read my existing engineering drawings?

Yes. Upload PDF, DXF, or scanned drawings. Nitrous uses AI vision to extract dimensions, tolerances, GD&T callouts, material specifications, and title block data. Clean digital exports from CAD systems work best. Scanned drawings and older blueprints work too but may flag some dimensions for manual verification.

Does Nitrous replace my Quality Engineer?

No. Nitrous replaces the 60% of their job that involves copying data between Word, Excel, and PDF templates. Your quality engineer still owns every decision. They review every PFMEA severity rating, every Control Plan sampling frequency, every dimensional result. Their name goes on the PSW. Nitrous removes the busywork so they can focus on the engineering judgment only they can provide.

What happens when my customer sends a drawing revision?

Upload the new revision and Nitrous identifies which dimensions changed. It flags every downstream document affected: which PFMEA rows need review, which Control Plan characteristics changed, which balloon numbers shifted. Instead of manually checking every document against the new drawing, your engineer sees exactly what needs attention and approves the updates.
