APQP is the timing plan focusing on the project adherence with reference to the customer Schedules. It starts from the initial tool or part design till the Start of Production

“ IT IS BETTER TO SPEND A LITTLE EXTRA TIME DURING THE UPSTREAM PROCESS SO THAT THE DOWNSTREAM PROCESSES ARE FREE FROM ERRORS ”.

THE ADVANCED PRODUCT QUALITY PLANNING (APQP) MODEL

WHAT IS APQP?

Advance Product Quality Planning is a structured & systematic method of defining and establishing the steps necessary to assure that a product satisfies the customer’s requirements.

The commitment from the Top Management is an essential requirement for the success of this process.

L THE OBJECTIVENESS OF APQP

The goals of Quality Planning are :

Effective communication with everyone involved.

On-time completion of all required steps

Minimal or no quality problems

Minimal product launch quality risks

Minimal cycle time to launch the product

THE BENEFITS OF APQP

• Resources are directed toward customer satisfaction

• Required changes are identified early

• Changes close to or after product launch are avoided

• A quality product is provided on time at the lowest cost.

• An element of Continuous Improvement is built into the company.

The product quality planning team’s first effort should be the development of a timing plan. This timing plan should list all tasks with responsibility and target dates. It is a good practice to follow the project management techniques like Gantt Chart, Critical Path Method, PERT etc. This plan can be regularly reviewed and updated as the planning evolves.

requirements- Ensuring that potential failure modes and their effects have been

considered in the design/development process- Exposing design deficiencies- Providing additional information which will be useful in planning thorough and efficient design test and development processes- Ensuring Design controls are effective in highlighting potential

threats- Detecting potential failure modes, and listing and ranking them according to their effect on customer- Providing an open issue format for recommending and tracking

risk actions- Providing future reference for analysing concerns, evaluating

design changes, and developing advanced designs.

Program Management Responsibility is to ensure that :- A design responsible cross-functional team develops the DFMEA- The DFMEA is prepared using a customer approved manual- Campaigns, recalls, user plant concerns, similar part DFMEAs, things gone wrong,

and warranty data are addressed during DFMEA development- Every component design function is included in the DFMEA- Failure modes are described in physical, technical and measurable terms- Effects of failure address the effect on each part, next higher assembly system,

vehicle, customer wants, and government regulations- Corrective actions, responsibilities, and completion dates are addressing high

severity numbers and high risk priority numbers.- Risk priority numbers are revised to quantify the impact of corrective actions.- Potential special product characteristics are considered in the FMEA- Potential causes of failure are identified for all failure modes.

plan. Specified tests, methods, equipment, acceptance criteria, samples sizes, design

level, and timing are clearly documented in the design verification plan Tests include variation within tolerance on product characteristics selected by the

team The design verification plan includes testing environmental aging, dimensional

wear and material fatigue The plan includes testing the useful life of the product The plan includes testing the effects of the external environment (climate road

surface conditions, etc.,) The plan includes testing the effects of the internal environment created

neighboring subsystems The plan includes testing of the physical interfaces between components or

systems The plan includes testing that detect a failure using variables data. Note: A failure is significant – partial, degraded, intermittent, or total product failure. The team agrees on the definitions of failure and success The plan includes documentation and reaction processes when product failure

PROTOTYPE BUILD – CONTROL PLAN

OBJECTIVES

Prototype Control Plan describes the controls to be ensured during the Prototype build stage. These could include the dimensional measurements, materials and functional tests that will occur during prototype build

The Prototype Control Plan evolves into the Production Control Plan It is used to measure the preliminary capability of “potential” special

characteristics identified during the Design FMEA process It supplies information to the manufacturing / assembly about the type of

controls expected Specific requirements and supporting data such as P.I.P.C.% (Percent

indicates that are process capable) and P.I.S.T (percent of inspection points that satisfy tolerance) may be required to support prototype vehicle evaluations.

Prototypes should be manufactured using production equipment when possible.

The Team Leader and APQP Team should manage the construction of the Production Control Plan and assess the finished document to ensure that the following expectations are met :

A cross-functional team to assist in the development of the Control Plan All operations and special characteristics are included on the Control Plan Recommended actions from the PFMEA are incorporated in the Control Plan Sampling plans are included as defined by customer requirements Sampling Plans for Ppk studies for Special Characteristics are included on the

Control Plan Work Instructions for setup, operation, testing, inspection, SPC and Reaction are

indicated in the Control Plan The Production Control Plan identifies all qualified measurement and test

equipment The customer is given the opportunity to approve the Control Plan Tests and measurements for PPAP approval are included on the Control Plan Instructions are defined for all material and engineering specifications Only rational sampling plans are usedP

Control methods are defined to produce only acceptable product output Control methods should focus on :

- meeting all customer requirements- process control rather than product control- prevention rather than detection- targeting nominal rather than specification limits- error proofing rather than inspection- managing the control method

Process data have been used to confirm cause and effect relationships between product and process characteristics. The PFMEA should be a primary tool for exposing deficiencies and potential product/ process relationships.

The Production Control Plan and PFMEA are consistent in defining current process controls

OUTPUTS

REDUCED VARIATION

Control charts and other statistical techniques should be used as tools to identify process variation. Analysis and corrective actions should be used to reduce variation. Continual improvement required attention not only to the special causes of variation but understanding common causes and seeking ways to reduce these sources of variation. Proposals should be developed including costs, timing, and anticipated improvement for customer review. Often the reduction or elimination of a common cause results in lower costs. Suppliers should not be reluctant to prepare proposals based on value analysis, reduction of variation, etc., The decision to implement, negotiate, or progress to the next product design level is the customer’s prerogative.CO

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Detailed planning activities and demonstrated process capability of a product or service do not always guarantee customer satisfaction. The product or service must perform in the customer environment. The product usage stage required supplier participation. It is in this stage where the most can be learned by both the supplier and customer. The effectiveness of the Product Quality Planning efforts can be evaluated in this stage. The supplier and customer must be partners in making the changes necessary to correct deficiencies to achieve customer satisfaction.

DELIVERY AND SERVICE

The delivery and service stage of quality planning continues the supplier/customer partnership in solving problems and continual improvement. The customer’s replacement and service operations always merit the same consideration in quality, cost and delivery. Failure to correct a problem the first time always damages the supplier’s reputation and customer partnership. It is important that both and supplier and customer listen to the Voice of the Customer. The experience gained in this provides the customer and supplier with the necessary knowledge to recommend price reductions achieved by reducing process, inventory, and quality costs to provide the right component or system for the next product.

What is the purpose of PPAP?

To list all the activities in the form of process flow chart, review the failure modes and analyze the effects in terms of risk management.The top management involves on freezing the control mechanism.It also gives the transparency and confidence to the customer on the defined as well as the agreed procedures
