Seminar Content
This two-day seminar addresses, in a hands-on manner, the elements of APQP for planning
and developing the manufacturing system and processes in preparation for a product
launch as well as the management of continual improvement. The seminar spans the
entire process from planning and defining the program through process and product
validation to launch.
This course covers a universally applicable approach to manufacturing process development
based on the linkages that exist among flow diagrams, Process Failure Mode and Effects
Analysis and Control Plans. Also covered in this course is the development of effective
work instructions linked to the Control Plan. Approaches discussed and employed
are consistent with the guidelines in the APQP 2nd Edition and FMEA 4th Edition
reference manuals issued by FCA, Ford & GM.
Who Should Attend
This seminar is designed for Manufacturing/Process Engineers, Production personnel,
Product Design/Development Engineers, Quality Managers, Quality Engineers, Program
Managers, Project Team Leaders and other APQP team members. (Purchasing, Logistics,
Tool Designers, Materials Management, Shop floor supervisors and/or team leaders,
etc.)
Recommended Training and/or Experience
None
