Re: APQP Timeline spreadsheet?
Hi Howard, I am a Quality Specialist in the Aerospace Industry. Previous to this position I was a Qaulity Engineer in the Auto Industry for 16 years.
I am been given the task of implementing APQP in the Aerspace Sector. So I am using what I feel are applicable elements for this sector and tweaking for fit.
Hurdle or Roadblock is the bye in to the enormous supplybase and part numbers, determing what products require(termed Critical Parts), and what are to be the Key Characterisitcs. Mutiple Primes have there own systems and as the auto industry TS16949 clearly specifies requirements of APQP, AS9100 B does not.
I would greatly appreciate any testimonials, resource material, etc as I am the trainer, administrator for APQP philosphy implementation.
