    APQP – Advanced Product-Quality Planning

    Successful project management always involves effective and efficient advanced quality planning. Many requirements of customers and external parties must be identified and met during the product-development process and safeguarded with targeted inspections in the product and process.

    Advanced product-quality planning (APQP) in particular is a standard that is firmly established in the automotive and automotive-supplier industries. It is also gaining prominence in other industries.

    With an approach that transcends function and process boundaries and an orientation that is pragmatic and operational, this training is the ideal foundation for setting up and implementing APQP correctly. The aim is to carry out projects and manufacture products in a way that saves on inspection costs while complying with customer requirements.
