The considerable and worthwhile supplier effort put into the AS9145 APQP process and PPAP submission should guarantee ‘perfect product and OTIF performance’ for customers.

Auditing APQP and PPAP processes will verify that the system is in place and is working effectively. However, the nagging fear remains – mission drift on the shop floor! Specifically, manufacturing methods aligned with the Control Plan may not continue to be adhered to, resulting in quality issues and loss of productivity. Clearly, a stringent ‘policing method’ must be deployed.

Layered Process Audits (LPA) are a system of audits performed by multiple levels of supervision and management to check whether the outputs (deliverables) of APQP are being properly followed, correct materials are being used, specified tools and equipment are employed and competent & qualified personnel are involved. LPA also monitor key process characteristics (e.g. Cpk & ppm) and verify process performance on an ongoing basis.

This e-Learning (on-line training) course provides and tests the knowledge required to plan, undertake and report on both APQP Audits and Layered Process Audits.

a downloadable (pdf) Delegate Workbook is included
