APQP

Why IAI implements APQP?

For nearly 30 years, IAI has implemented Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) in order to support the pursuit of continuous improvement through a standardized set of quality requirements.

Some of the main benefits IAI has experienced since the implementation of APQP are:

Early identification of change
- Intentional (what is being changed on purpose to bring value to the Customer)
- Incidental (environments, customer usage, degradation, and interfaces)
Avoid late changes by anticipating failure and preventing it

On-time quality product at the lowest cost
Higher capability of verification and validation of a change
Improved collaboration between product design and process
Improved design for Manufacturing and Assembly

How does IAI implement APQP?

Finding risk in product and process development is more desirable than finding late failure. That is why IAI follows every aspect of APQP aligned with analytical risk discovery tools and techniques:

Section 0: Pre-planning
Section 1: Plan and define
Section 2: Product Design and Development
Section 3: Process Design and Development
Section 4: Product and Process Validation
Section 5: Feedback Assessment and Corrective Action
