APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning)

APQP serves both as a guide in the development process and as a standard for sharing results between suppliers and customers in the automotive industry.

APQP specifies three product phases – development, industrialisation and product launch. In these phases, we monitor 23 main topics that must be completed before mass production begins.

The topics include aspects such as design robustness, design testing and specification compliance, production process design, quality inspection standards, process capability, production capacity, product packaging, product testing and the training plan.
