Seminar Content

Collectively, this five-day series of seminarsis intended to provide a basic understanding of the Advance Product Quality Planning (APQP) Core Tools and their use in New Product Development to ensure a successful launch and capable serial production. These Core Tools play a significant role in the planning, development and launch of new products and processes.

These Core Tools include the following:

The five phases of APQP itself
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and Control Plans
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA)

Please note, only DFMEA or PFMEA can be taken in a single, one week session. These courses will cover the AIAG FMEA 4^th Edition methodology.

Who Should Attend

This seminar is designed for Internal Auditors, Management Representatives, ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 Implementation Teams, and others who would like to develop judgment and decision-making in ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and to learn how to effectively audit the New Product Development activities.

Recommended Training and/or Experience

Participants should possess a working knowledge of, as well as some experience in ISO-based quality management systems, as well as a firm understanding of basic quality tools.

Seminar Materials

Each participant will receive a seminar manual. All concepts will be introduced using examples. Group exercises will make use of an example product and process.
