Advanced
Product Quality Planning (APQP) Implementation and Improvement
Seminar Content
This three, four or five-day seminar addresses in depth, all the elements
of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP). It shows how Process Flows,
Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Control Plans and
shop floor documentation can be used to achieve process standardization
and improvement. This seminar includes program management and status
reporting for APQP Phases I and II, DFMEA, DVP&R and Prototype Management
and, in particular, is consistent with the latest PPAP (4th Edition)
and PSW following the requirements of ISO/TS 16949:2002 (Second Edition)
and the Third Edition FMEA Manual.
Who Should Attend
Those who have direct responsibility for introducing new products or
a new manufacturing process. Additionally, program/product managers,
quality managers, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, APQP team
members and others who have direct responsibility for process standardization
and improvement can benefit from this seminar.
Seminar Materials
Seminar manual and demonstration copy of the AQuA Pro® APQP software package
Seminar Goals
- Provide a hands-on approach to APQP and its relationship to program
management and status reporting to give the knowledge and skills needed
to introduce new products and processes smoothly
- Focus on the use of Process Management to achieve standardization
and improvement using Process Flow Diagrams, Process FMEA and Process
Control Plans
- Understand all major automotive industry approaches to FMEAs and
Control Plans and the variations in current use.
