Quality & Compliance S12
APQP Management
Structures the new product development process through all APQP phases with task, milestone and document tracking.
Advanced product quality planning for new product development
APQP Management runs new product development as a structured programme rather than a series of meetings. Each phase has a gate, a team, a document checklist and a set of actions, and the status dashboard shows where every programme stands. When a gate review comes round, the evidence for it already exists.
What this module does
The module structures the new product development process through all APQP phases with task, milestone and document tracking.
A programme is set up with its phases and gates, a cross-functional team is assigned, and milestones are placed on a timeline. Actions and open items are tracked against owners, risks are held in a register, and each phase carries the document checklist it requires. Gate review and approval close each phase, and the status dashboard reports across programmes.
