Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a structured methodology aimed at ensuring the quality and performance of a product throughout its development and production lifecycle. It involves a collaborative approach among cross-functional teams to identify customer requirements, establish clear objectives, and implement proactive measures to mitigate risks. By utilizing tools such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and control plans, APQP facilitates continuous improvement and enhances product reliability and customer satisfaction.
