View Full Version : What is APA/BPA auditing? DaimlerChrysler quality auditor - China Wes Bucey 7th March 2005, 11:59 PM Who could tell me whole words of APA and BPA? :D I'd be happy to attempt an answer if you will tell me where you encountered this set of initials. What document? What industry? What context? sunwen 8th March 2005, 02:08 AM I'd be happy to attempt an answer if you will tell me where you encountered this set of initials. What document? What industry? What context? I am so sorry that these words come from an advert. :( Marc 8th March 2005, 03:47 AM What did the advertisement say? Whose advertisement was it and what does the company do? BubbaDog56 8th March 2005, 10:14 AM Not sure about APA, but BPA could be BPA International. They provide independent auditing and reporting for 'free subscription' trade journals and such, verifying circulation numbers and readership demographics for advertisers. B'Dog Craig H. 8th March 2005, 10:42 AM You might try http://www.acronymfinder.com/ (www.acronymfinder.com) I looked and found the group BubbaDog found. APA had a few matches that might work as well. Wes Bucey 8th March 2005, 11:12 AM Let's hold the wild speculation until we hear back from the original poster. I have a hunch the concept about BPA auditing may fit the bill when media talk about guaranteeing number of readers for their ads. This is a very big deal with "controlled circulation" magazines like U.S. Banker. (so-called free subscription trade magazines are called "controlled circulation" because they limit free distribution to a specific demographic - all others must pay a fee. One publication I get free charges $400/year to non-qualifying folks. I learned last year they actually have 1,000 entities paying that sum just to get it. I wasn't able to get the names so I could peddle my used copies for $100/year:tg: ) Al Rosen 8th March 2005, 01:32 PM :2cents: Before Print Approval/After Print Approval Wes Bucey 8th March 2005, 03:36 PM It took awhile to sink in. We need someone from Holland (Netherlands) to confirm this is a Dutch usage for Bijzondere plannen van aanleg (BPA) Particular planning construction (BPA) Algemene plannen van aanleg (APA) General planning construction (APA) normally seen as APA/BPA The translation is Babelfish - I have no confidence it is idiomatic translation. My guess is the usage is "general plan/specific plan" sunwen 10th March 2005, 02:56 AM These words came from want ad of DaimlerChrysler in china.They need a quality auditor who have experience of APA/BPA audit.I like this position,but I do not know weather I can adapt to it. Thanks again! :tg: :lol: :biglaugh: :thanx: |
