APQP Training Program

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)

COURSE DESCRIPTION
APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) is a structured
method that de�nes and establishes the steps necessary to
ensure products meet requirements and customer
expectations. There are (6) major sub-sections for APQP:
Preparation; Planning and De�ning; Product Design and
Development; Process Design and Development; Product
and Process Validation; and Feedback, Assessment, and
Corrective Action. There is a natural linkage of information
between all (6) sub-sections, and this training will de�ne
how the various quality tools and processes all �ow and
work together.

This APQP course outlines a discipline and logical set of guidelines and explains the connection with the
systems engineering Vee model. Both APQP and Systems Engineering recommend the same phases of
product and process development and implementing a common set of core tools. and processes all �ow
and work together.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
This training program is intended to provide an introduction and foundation of the Advanced Product
Quality Planning (APQP). Mastering the content will improve product quality, reliability, dependability, and
launch effectiveness. At the end of this course you should be able to:

• De�ne the 6 phases of APQP


• Explain the linkage of APQP and Systems Engineering to Product Development Process
• De�ne the linkage of DFMEA output and APQP
• De�ne the linkage of PFMEA output and APQP
• List the linkage between the DFMEA and PFMEA
• De�ne the linkage of Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) and APQP
• De�ne the linkage of Control Plans and APQP
• De�ne the linkage between PFD, PFMEA and PCP
• De�ne the quality expectations for the customer/supplier
• De�ne what is required for APQP Approval
• De�ne audit criteria to make sure the part supplied meets product requirements
• De�ne your process capability, including sub-suppliers, of producing a conforming product to design
speci�cations
• De�ne how APQP will enhance the production control plan and quality management system (QMS) to
prevent non-conforming product from reaching the customer
• De�ne the roles of both management and engineers within the APQP Process
• De�ne the importance of the APQP Audit process
• De�ne how APQP is associated within QMS, ISO-9001:2015, and IATF-16949:2016

COURSE OUTLINE
APQP is a structured method that de�nes and establishes
steps necessary to ensure supplier parts meet the
customer requirements and expectations. APQP supports
organizations quality management system (QMS) and
continuous improvement of product and process quality
and reliability.

This purpose of APQP is focused on communication,


quality planning, demonstration of management support,
and cooperation between the customer and the supplier.
The bene�ts of APQP include directing resources into; early
identi�cation of required changes, avoidance of late changes, and developing and delivering a quality
product on time at the lowest cost. Understanding and implementation of APQP processes reinforce an
organizations ability to meet ISO-9001:2015 and IATF-16949:2016 requirements.

This course will cover the following APQP items and their interactions throughout the 6 de�ned steps:
