Changes to the New 3rd Edition Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and 1st Edition Control Plan Manuals
Changes to the New 3rd Edition Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and 1st Edition Control Plan Manuals
Course Duration: 2 Days
This two-day course focuses on the changes in the newly released 3rd Edition APQP Plan Reference Manual and 1st Edition Control Plan Reference Manual.
The first day of class will discuss advanced topics on and the effectiveness of Advance Product Quality Planning (APQP). It will also cover all the topics of the current edition and address all the elements of APQP, but with a primary focus on the changes from the 2nd Edition Reference Manual.
The second day of the course will focus on the development, implementation and improvement of Control Plans according to the Control Plan 1st Edition Reference Manual. The start of the second day will identify all the concepts and best practices which were retained in the 1st Edition as well as expanded strategies and added concepts and best practices.
Both days will address APQP and Control Plans at an advanced level.
Join the writers of the Core Tools: Michael Down , Gregory Gruska , and Mary Rowzee .
