Course overview

The aerospace and defence supply chain is global, bringing many new competitors and opportunities. 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 the AS9145 standard.

TEC's unique 2-day course incorporates ‘hands-on’ exercises and workshops to provide participants with an introduction to both the implementation of the APQP methodology and an overview of the above ‘quality tools’. In this way, they will acquire the knowledge and skills to undertake successful new product introduction in full conformity with AS9145 and the other related standards such as AS13000, AS13004, AS13003, AS13006, AS9103 and AS9102plus customer-specific requirements.

The 2-day course is highly interactive and uses individual/team exercises, workshops and quizzes.

The course timings are -

  • Day-1: 08:00 - 17:00

  • Day-2: 08:30 - 17:00

Implementation of APQP and PPAP requires an in-depth knowledge of the essential processes and competency in the use of quality tools such as 8-D problem solving, PFMEAs, DFMEAs, MSA (GR&R), Control Plans, Process Capacity Studies and appropriate SPC. Delegates who require practitioner level understanding of the above “quality tools” and APQP & PPAP, are encouraged to attend our 3- Day APQP & PPAP - AS9145 Master Class

Apart from the nominated APQP Project Owners – all personnel participating in the APQP phases, elements and deliverables (including sign-off of the PPAP submission document) will benefit from attending this course.

Deliverables & benefits

In their efforts to improve supply chain performance the aerospace/defence ‘Primes’ and ‘Tier-1’ companies have turned their attention to harmonizing their requirements for New Product Introduction. Following the lead of the automotive industry in the 80’s, these initiatives require the efforts of APQP Project Owners and Cross-functional Teams who are able to use proven tools and techniques to accomplish their aims in a highly structured manner.

TEC's 2-day ‘immersion’ Class will empower an organization's personnel to undertake successful APQP & PPAP projects in line with AS9145 and customer-specific requirements.

The individuals attending will learn understand how to use a set of powerful quality tools including process flow charts, risk management (DFMEAs and PFMEAs), control plans, capability studies, capacity management, and more.
