INTRODUCTION
Advance Product Quality Planning is a structured method of defining and establishing the steps necessary to assure that a product satisfies the customer.
The goal of product quality planning is to facilitate communication with everyone involved to assure that all required steps are completed on time.
Effective product quality planning depends on a company’s top management commitment to the effort required in achieving customer satisfaction.
OBJECTIVES
- Understand the APQP Process Identify the inputs / outputs of the five APQP phases
- Understand APQP as a methodology for new product development
COURSE CONTENT
- The bulk of cost of a product is committed at the early stages of a development cycle even though they are not expendeduntil later.
- The cost of fixing a design and faulty decisions at later stagesis exponentially greater than at an earlier stage.
- The opportunity costs of being late to market are very high,ex. lower market share, lower margins.
- Cross-functional teams typically provide a better quality solution to complex dynamic product development problems than single individuals.
- Early simultaneous involvement in product development by cross-functional teams using structured development process saves time and money over the product life cycle.
