Meet customer expectations throughout the APQP process

From concept approval through to production, it's essential that you meet your customers’ requirements throughout the APQP process.

Ensure close collaboration with your customers during each of the 5 phases that make up the process, which include planning, product design, product manufacture development, process validation and product launch. Meeting these key requirements will maintain the success of the production process.

Request an APQP software demo

Make the right decisions at the right time

Gaining a clear, complete view of your APQP processes is paramount in ensuring the overall success of the final product.

Outlining any issues from the outset is vital, as failure to manage these obstacles can delay production or even cause anomalies which could result in a step back to the design phase.

Allow yourself to make the necessary informed decisions based on factual, real-time data.

FAQs

What is APQP?

APQP stands for Advanced Product Quality Planning, taking into account what customers want and following a process to keep quality at the forefront. It documents evidence of risk analysis prior to beginning production on a part to ensure you have a consistent production run, therefore minimising delivery delays due to poor quality.

What are the five phases of APQP?

Basically, APQP deals with the entirety of the process - from receiving a business enquiry all the way to the finished product: 1. Planning, 2. Product design and development, 3. Process design and development, 4. Product and process validation and 5. Ongoing production, use and post-delivery service

What are the benefits of APQP software?

APQP software provides a toolkit for creating and completing the evidence for APQP to meet the requirements of AS9145. It allows you to manage product data, reduce risk and streamline manual processes, giving you what you need to efficiently manage the manufacturing quality documentation of a product from the planning stage right up until delivering the finished part.
