Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)

Return to Our Services

Course Purpose

Quality system requirements are intended to develop fundamentals that provide for continuous improvement, defect prevention and the reduction of variation. APQP is the heart of product development/project implementation and the prime element of successful project success as it links the special characteristics identified in the project. It then integrates all of the prime tools of TS 16949 like FMEA, control plans, feasibility reviews, operator instructions, process flow diagrams, etc. This is a workshop course that gives the participants the opportunity to work in teams and implement APQP using actual case studies.

Learning Objectives
-Demonstrate knowledge of APQP and how it relates to TS 16949
-Describe the importance of APQP to successfully implement the launch of a new product
-Learn how to implement an APQP project planning system for your next project
-Describe the importance of linkages and flow of special characteristics within a project
