Course Duration: 5 Days - 8 Hours/day
Collectively, this five-day series of seminars are intended to provide a basic understanding of the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) Core Tools and their use in New Product Development to ensure a successful launch and capable serial production. These Core Tools play a significant role in the planning, development, and launch of new products and processes.
These Core Tools include the following:
- The five phases of APQP itself
- Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
- Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and Control Plans
- Statistical Process Control (SPC)
- Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA)
Please note, only DFMEA or PFMEA can be taken in a single, one-week session. These courses will cover the AIAG FMEA 4th Edition methodology.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the five phases of APQP for New Product Development and its relationship to program management and the knowledge and skills needed to participate in an APQP team
- Understand the PPAP protocol, elements, deliverables, and submission/approval process
- Understand how to achieve robust and comprehensive process control, process standardization, and process improvement using Process Flow Diagrams, PFMEA, and Process Control Plans
- Understand the use of SPC to monitor and measure variation in manufacturing processes ad to identify and the correct problem where they arise
- Understand MSA and the statistical tests employed to determine measurement variation and measurement uncertainty for the effective management of measurement systems
