Key information

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) are important methods in quality management, especially in the automotive industry.
APQP is a structured process used by the automotive industry to ensure that quality considerations are taken into account at all stages of product development and manufacturing. It is a proactive approach designed to identify potential problems early and prevent them before they lead to costly quality issues.
PPAP is a part of APQP and refers to the Production Part Approval Process. This process involves the review and approval of production processes and results to ensure that manufactured parts meet the specified requirements. PPAP involves the documentation of processes, inspection results and approvals according to customer requirements or industry standards.
Both methods are used to ensure that suppliers in the automotive industry continuously improve the quality of their products and processes and meet customer expectations. APQP and PPAP help to reduce quality issues, scrap and costs and promote a collaborative partnership between suppliers and customers.
