Seminar Content
This three-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 PPAP submission and product launch as well as the management of continual improvement.
The five phases of APQP are discussed with a review of the key outputs for each
phase. The seminar spans the entire process from planning and defining the program
through process and product validation to PPAP and 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, Control Plans and PPAP. 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, FMEA 4th
Edition and PPAP 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.
