APQP

APQP, or Advanced Product Quality Planning, is a structured process used by manufacturers to ensure new products meet quality and customer expectations. It involves planning, designing, and verifying all aspects of product development systematically, from initial concept to production. The goal is to identify potential issues early, improve communication among all teams, and ensure the final product is reliable and meets requirements. By following APQP, companies reduce risks, prevent defects, and deliver high-quality products efficiently.
