Description

APQP is one of the methods utilized in the automotive space to move a project from concept to launch with the intent of minimizing lead times and start up issues. This tool is also the container for EVERY OTHER core tool in the series. If you are serious about learning core tools, APQP is the place to start your journey.

This is a 1-day OVERVIEW course and covers the principles and structure of APQP and is perfect for:

  • The executive or manager looking for an overview of tools their teams utilize
  • Team leaders that need the BIG PICTURE of the process
  • Internal Auditors that may need to become familiar with the tool

We intentionally created this curriculum to be beginner friendly and connect the bigger picture with some detail, but:

  • We did not overwhelm you with the details …so you walk away knowing what the tool is all about and how it can help your organization.
  • We covered the nomenclature, like PHASES, TASKS, GATEWAYS so that you are able to speak the same language as others utilizing the tool.
  • We cover both the technical aspects, as well as the managerial aspects of APQP, so that you walk away being well rounded in both the tech, and the soft side of program management

  • Trainers & Moderator support: For every session, both trainers and moderators (or on-site staff) will be present and accessible to ensure optimal interaction for each participant, upholding the intimacy of our training model. Participants may interject and raise hands at any time, speak directly to trainers, moderators, and other participants, and share feedback in real-time. 
  • Exercises & Break-out Rooms: Throughout the session, participants will be assigned to teams and split into breakouts to privately complete group activities and discussions, then returning to the larger group to present. There will also be quizzes (or polls) throughout to measure knowledge retention during the units.
