What is Advanced Product Quality Planning & Production Part Approval Process (APQP & PPAP)?
Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) are structured methodologies widely used in manufacturing—particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors—to ensure that products meet customer requirements consistently from design through production. APQP focuses on proactive quality planning across the entire product lifecycle, including design, development, validation, and production readiness. PPAP complements APQP by providing standardized evidence that production processes can reliably produce parts that meet all specified requirements.
Our training program covers core APQP phases, PPAP submission requirements, risk identification, control plans, and documentation, enabling organizations to achieve robust product quality and process consistency.
Why are APQP & PPAP important?
APQP & PPAP are essential for minimizing product and process risks, reducing defects, and preventing costly rework or recalls. By applying these methodologies, organizations can align cross-functional teams, ensure clear communication with customers, and validate production readiness before mass production. This training will guide you in implementing APQP & PPAP effectively to improve product quality, enhance customer confidence, ensure compliance with customer-specific requirements, and strengthen your organization’s competitiveness in demanding supply chains.
