Definition Of Quality

The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)

Outlines the methods used for approval of production and service commodities, including bulk materials, up to and including part submission warrant in the Advanced Quality Planning process. The purpose of the PPAP process is to ensure that suppliers of components comply with the design specification and can show documentary evidence that the level can be maintained during the life of the product.

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)

Generally speaking APQP is a structured method of defining the steps necessary to ensure that a product satisfies the customer. In the automotive industry, APQP is a systematic product introduction process that aims to facilitate supply chain communication and ensure quality throughout the vehicle development process.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Is a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a design, a manufacturing or assembly process, or a product or service. It is a common process analysis tool. FMEA is a specific type of failure analysis applied to products, processes, and services to identify all ways that a given failure mode can affect the quality, functionality, or reliability of the overall product, process or service being analysed.
