Understanding and Implementing APQP with PPAP
Implement the APQP process, develop control plans and complete the PPAP efficiently and effectively.
In this two-day workshop participants will acquire the skills necessary to complete all five Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) phases from "voice of the customer" through final output, including control plan methodology and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) submission.
Through group activities and hands-on coaching, you learn the importance of thorough planning activities and develop a functional timing plan for production and delivery of a simulated product. Using simulations, groups work with customer engineers to develop a customer requirement and take it from prototype to a functionally acceptable and capable part. Realism is enhanced as teams develop flow charts, process instructions and control plans for the product and carry them through to PPAP submission.
