APQP - Advanced Product Quality Planning

Detect and eliminate bottlenecks in advance

Safeguarding series start-up

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is based on the requirements of those industrial companies whose subcontractors are integral to project development. The APQP software module is available for defining and carrying out work packages and forms the basis for successful and efficient project control.

Up-to-date and in-depth information

APQP details everything in a project up to the start of production, including all partial projects, milestones, quality gates, deadlines, and overview of costs. All documents connected to the respective project are saved – which makes APQP a key tool to guarantee the success of a project.

One step ahead – proactive operation

By visualizing real data, quality gates, and the critical path, you can identify deviations from specifications and their effects on the future course of the project. Therefore, you can take immediate corrective actions, identify risks in advance and proactively reduce them.

Time and cost savings

Generate different reports automatically with APQP and say goodbye to time-consuming, cost-intensive, and error-prone processes. Gone are the days of status reports that you manually transfer from Office files to report forms required by customers.

Recognize interactions

Integrate all suppliers in your supply chain with QC - Supply Chain – so that every company involved has access to the same information as well as dates in the web application. Real data from suppliers enable you to immediately recognize interactions and dependencies within the course of the project.
