Reuse Library: Create New

Reuse Library Training Materials can be found here. 

When creating a Reuse Library record, you can choose to create from blank, from importing an Excel file, or copying an existing record.  This article covers the option to create from blank.  Reuse Library records are defined as a set of PFD-PFMEA-CP with their data linked between similar columns as well as a DFMEA whose data is unlinked from the other three deliverables.  Typically, these contain process "segments" or combinations of segments (ie. other libraries) which can be used to generate "commodity templates".  Other terms and uses are possible as well.

Reuse Library records can be created by clicking the "Create Library" button found by navigating to APQP >> Reuse Library.   You'll be directed to the create page.  The default selection on this page is "Create New". The page can be toggled between the New and Import options without data loss (except for attached Excel files).

Enter all relevant information into the fields displayed.  Required fields are indicated by a bolded header.  

External accounts do not have access to any Reuse record information unless used in a PPAPD record which is then linked to an APQP/PPAP Package.  Only users with access to that package are able to view this information.  Learn more about this process in this article.

If your program list is empty or is missing the program you need, then your account's administrator may need to align your User ID with programs.
