16-September-2008 16:15:16 - Advanced Product Quality Planning Advanced Product Quality Planning or APQP is a framework of procedures and techniques used to develop products in industry, particularly the automotive industry. It is quite similar to the concept of Design For Six Sigma DFSS. It is a defined process for a product development system for General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and their suppliers. According to the Automotive Industry Action Group AIAG, the purpose of APQP is to produce a product quality plan which will support development of a product or service that will satisfy the customer. The process is described in the AIAG manual 810-358-3003. Contents 1 History 2 Main content of APQP 3 See also 4 External links History Advanced Product Quality Planning is a process developed in the late 1980's by a commission of experts gathered from the 'Big Three' US automobile manufacturers: Ford, GM and what was then Chrysler. This commission invested five years to analyse the then-current automotive development and production status in the US, Europe and especially in Japan. At the time, the success of the Japanese automotive companies was starting to be remarkable in the US market. APQP is utilised today by these three companies and some affiliates. Tier I suppliers are typically required to follow APQP procedures and techniques and are also typically required to be audited and registered to ISO/TS 16949. The APQP process is defined in the AIAG's APQP Manual, which is part of a series of interrelated documents that the AIAG controls and publishes. The basis for the make-up of a Process Control Plan is included in the APQP Manual. 1 These manuals include: The FMEA Manual The Statistical process control SPC Manual The Measurement Systems Analysis MSA Manual The Production Part Approval Process PPAP Manual The Automotive Industry Action Group AIAG is a non-profit association of automotive companies founded in 1982.

They cover aspects as: design robustness, design testing and specification compliance, production process design, quality inspection standards, process capability, production capacity, product packaging, product testing and operators training plan between other items.
