Product development has inherent risks – there are many possibilities for failure, as you move from concept to design to validation to release. Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a structured, stage-gate process designed to ensure customer satisfaction for new products being developed. APQP has existed for decades, starting in the automotive industry, then moving into aerospace, and now being applied to other industries such as medical and telecommunications. APQP is a highly proactive product development process that ensures companies fully integrate their design, development, and manufacturing processes from concept to product use, service, and customer feedback. If implemented properly, APQP can help you to improve your product quality and speed up your product time to market with higher levels of acceptance and fewer instances of snafus and chaos at the time of product release.

During this webinar, CMTC Quality Practice Lead Eliot Dratch:

  • Gives an overview of the use of Integrated Product Development
  • Describes scenarios of how to successfully implement the 5 Stages of APQP
  • Presents the case for using APQP to ensure you’ve met the Voice of the Customer (VoC)

This webinar was originally presented on April 4, 2023 at 10:00 AM PT.
