AIAG Core Tools – APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) Training
New product and process launch processes in the automotive supply chain demand full compliance with IATF 16949:2016 requirements. Grupas' AIAG Core Tools APQP – Advanced Product Quality Planning training addresses the design, development and serial production launch phases of new products with a systematic approach; it brings APQP's 5 core phases (plan and define, product design and development, process design and development, product and process validation, feedback and corrective action) to life through practical application.
The program covers APQP fundamentals and team structuring, voice of the customer (VoC) and market research, simultaneous engineering, DFMEA/PFMEA, process flow diagrams, control plans, MSA, process capability and PPAP documentation along with checklists. A real-life ABS ECU development project case study demonstrates how the theory translates to the shop floor.
