Our face-to-face training can be provided at our training venue or in-company at your site.
Enquire for in-company training

Course overview

An emerging customer requirement is for their suppliers to implement APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) in full conformity with –

Aerospace: the AS9145 standard (and the AS13100 supplementary requirements)

Aeroengine AESQ: AS13100 Chapter B (AS9145 + supplemental requirements)

Automotive: the IATF 16949 standard and AIAG's manual "Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Control Plan"

Implementation of APQP and PPAP requires an in-depth knowledge of the essential processes and competency in the use of quality tools such DFMEAs, PFMEAs, MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis), Control Plans, Process Capacity Studies. etc.

TEC's unique 3-day “Master Class" incorporates Quizzes, Tests, ‘hands-on’ Exercises and Personal assignments to empower participants in both the implementation of the APQP methodology and the use of all of the above ‘quality tools’ including the statistical software package Minitab®.

a downloadable (pdf) Delegate Workbook is included

Knowledge and skills are evaluated at each stage to guarantee successful new product introduction in full conformity with both aerospace and automotive requirements.

The course covers in detail everything that is needed to develop, document and implement AS9145, AS13100 (Chapter B) and IATF 16949 conforming processes for APQP and PPAP
