Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)

Introduction:

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a structured method of defining and establishing the steps necessary to ensure that a product satisfies the customer. This course focuses on the five APQP phases for quality planning and the tools associated with each phase, with primary emphasis on product development. Participants will learn that the APQP process is a fundamental method for assuring quality of the product throughout its development from concept to obsolescence.

Duration: 1 Day

Target Audience:

Managers, process owners, engineers and other personnel who are involved in the introduction of new products and contribute to the APQP.
 
Programme Objectives:

At the end of this course, participants will understand the APQP requirements, its relationship to programme management and status reporting and what needs to be done to comply with the APQP requirements. They will understand that when properly applied, these tools can decrease the time needed to get a product to market, increase profitability and lower total product development costs through effective product / process design techniques. Hence the knowledge gained from the course will enable participants to introduce new products and processes smoothly.
