The latest APQP ? 3rd Edition & Control Plan- Version 1 manuals have been released by AIAG!
As you may be aware, AIAG has been working on the new APQP and Control Plan manuals for quite some time. The automotive industry OEMs and their supply base have been eagerly awaiting the new manuals, which will soon become mandatory requirements and be added to the US OEM CSR documents. Ford, GM, and Stellantis have already announced that they will accept the usage of these new manuals as soon as they are released, making way for international OEMs and a host of large Tier 1 suppliers to follow suit.
There are significant changes in both the APQP and the new Control Plan manuals, as indications have suggested. They not only address the needs of the latest ICE and hybrid vehicles but also the new electric vehicles. These developments emphasize the importance of new product development and process control more than ever before.
The QSG APQP Training course is taught in an engaging instructor-led format. The instructor will describe the best practices that have made APQP such a successful methodology for improving product quality. Participants will learn the proper course of action for each phase of APQP and will be able to identify the correct inputs and outputs to make the process work as designed.
Participants will have the opportunity to interact with all elements of the APQP process, as well as learn about the other Quality and Reliability Tools that are built into the methodology?s framework. Team activities, workshops and other exercises will be used to reinforce the best practices of this methodology to ensure that each participant will be able to put APQP into action for their company?s unique production needs.
Value-Add: An ever-growing number of companies must comply with Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) requirements. Even those that are not subject to a compliance mandate recognize the APQP process as a product development best practice that improves performance for new product introduction. To implement APQP effectively, companies must account for a series of key considerations that will determine the success of the initiative and ultimately the performance of future product launches.
Quality system requirements are intended to develop fundamentals that provide for continuous improvement, defect prevention, and the reduction of variation. APQP is at the heart of product development/project implementation and the prime element of successful project success, as it links the special characteristics identified in the project. It then integrates all of the prime tools of IATF 16949, such as FMEA, control plans, feasibility reviews, operator instructions, process flow diagrams, etc.
This course provides valuable information and examples for the successful implementation of the APQP process at companies of all sizes and across industries. It gives the participants the opportunity to work in teams and to implement APQP using actual case studies. Training includes discussions about the use of control plan and relevant data required to construct and determine control plan parameters, as well as the importance of the control plan in the continuous improvement cycle.
Bob,
Thank you for all of your time and assistance with both; the Internal Audits and the Gap Analysis. I strongly feel that our QMS will have great improvements from these events.
Hi Bob,
Not sure if I ever told you, but the quality manual spreadsheets you provided have impressed every external auditor that’s come in.
We are grateful to you for sharing the template with us. We were certified to the 2015 version of the standard in December and the auditor said we saved him hours of auditing because we had all the information in one place.
More recently a customer asked if we might share the template with them. But I wanted to ask you if that would be alright before doing so.
Please let me know as soon as you can. Take care.
Hi Al,
I want to tell you how pleased everyone was with how far we have come. That is due in no small part to your efforts and coaching. Scott and I appreciate what you have done.
We had our ISO 9001:2015 certification audit this week and we passed with flying colors! No findings and only 3 OFI’s. We should be receiving our certificate in 4-6 weeks.
I wanted to say Thank You, to you and the QSG team for helping us with this transition. Your assistance certainly made it a much less daunting of a task for us to achieve. I’ll be sure to contact you when it’s time for our internal audit.
Thanks again for all your help!
Angelo,
It feels nice to put the successful audit behind us! We filed our corrective action report and sent it over last Friday. We should get our official re-certification in the coming days.
Al was a great resource in pulling us through this project. He fit well with the team. With Al and Don, you have some quality people working for your organization.
We’ll be getting back in touch with Al next month to begin scheduling out the training for ISO 9001:2015.
To Bob, Angelo, and Al,
As you have heard we successfully completed our ISO 9001, 2015 audit this past week with no findings and only 2 observations for improvements. I would like to thank you all for your efforts in helping us complete our journey. I’m confident this will make Vacuum Barrier a stronger organization going further. We will keep you in mind as additional demands surface that we may require your services again.
Thanks for letting us know!
