Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)
Description
If you're in search of the most comprehensive APQP training available, and seeking competence above and beyond conformance, this class is tailor-made for you.
Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) represents a key approach in the automotive industry for moving a project from concept to launch, with the goal of minimizing lead times and startup issues.
As a guiding force for other tools such as FMEA, MSA, and SPC, Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) stands out as one of the most high-level Core Tools. If you're looking to master APQP, it's not enough to simply understand it, you also need to learn how to implement it.
Providing the most in-depth application-based training for APQP, this training is for those who want to learn the elements of APQP, what an effective APQP deployment consists of and how to lead APQP endeavors in their organizations.
With the understanding that APQP can be challenging - much like program management in general - this course will include:
-
Both managerial and technical aspects to ensure you not only walk away with the proper technical expertise but are also able to manage the programs to control time, cost, and budget.
-
Case studies that allow you to analyze and evaluate other APQP programs and apply it yourself.
