APQP 3rd ed. and Control Plan 1st ed. according to AIAG manuals (TRANSITION) - #TM113

To take into account Industry 4.0, increased automation, autonomous driving, electrification and the broader definition of mobility, the 3rd edition of the AIAG Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) manual provides steps and tools to avoid quality issues, improve customer satisfaction and foster an environment of continuous improvement. This is therefore a new opportunity for the automotive supply chain to continue its commitment to excellence.

While the primary objective remains product compliance for series launch, the advantage of this new version is that it strengthens the managerial aspects by integrating a robust governance model into the product development process. In addition, risk mitigation is enhanced, supply planning is brought forward, and other key changes ensure a more comprehensive approach.

The separation of the two manuals is intended to facilitate more timely updates as systems evolve and emphasises the importance of monitoring plans in product development.

This training focuses on the key improvements you can expect from these new manuals.

• Understand the main changes, improvements and benefits compared to the 2nd edition of the APQP manual.
• Understand the new features of the Control Plan.
• Develop a transition plan.

• Project managers responsible for managing projects in accordance with APQP.
• Quality/QHSE managers, engineers and technicians responsible for the APQP process.

• Trainees draw up a transition plan to be implemented after the training course.
