📐 Measurement Systems

MSA and Gage R&R studies to validate measurement systems. Ensure inspection and test equipment provides reliable, repeatable results.

📊 Process Capability

Cpk and Ppk analysis to validate process capability. Statistical studies to ensure processes meet specifications before production launch.

✅ PPAP Management

Production Part Approval Process with complete submission management. Track all 18 elements, submissions, and customer approvals.

📝 Quality Requirements

Define, document, and cascade quality requirements from customer specifications. Ensure requirements are understood and achievable.

🔄 Change Management

Manage engineering and process changes with impact assessment. Ensure changes maintain or improve quality levels.

📈 Quality Gates

Stage-gate reviews to validate quality readiness. Automated checklists and approval workflows for phase transitions.

APQP Five-Phase Process

Phase 1: Plan & Define Program

Voice of customer, design goals, reliability targets, preliminary BOM, preliminary process flow, product/process benchmarking.

Phase 2: Product Design & Development

Design FMEA, design verification, design reviews, prototype control plan, engineering drawings, material specifications.

Phase 3: Process Design & Development

Process FMEA, process flow, floor plan layout, characteristics matrix, pre-launch control plan, packaging standards.

Phase 4: Product & Process Validation

Production trial run, MSA, preliminary process capability, PPAP submission, production control plan, quality planning sign-off.

Phase 5: Launch, Assessment & Corrective Action

Reduced variation, customer satisfaction, delivery performance, effective use of lessons learned, continuous improvement.
