APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) is a project management methodology primarily based on the PDCA cycle (Deming Cycle), while also aligning with project management principles referenced in IATF 16949. The APQP guidelines were originally developed by the so-called “Big Three” automotive companies: General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford.
APQP consists of five phases: planning, product design and development, process design and development, product and process validation, and serial production, along with information flow between these phases.
Today, APQP is used not only in the automotive industry but also by manufacturing companies in other sectors to ensure high product quality during implementation. Validation of both product and process according to APQP guidelines minimizes the risk of errors and helps avoid additional costs.
Participation in an APQP course helps better understand the structure of the methodology and apply it correctly in practical project environments.
