APQP and Quoting - When does APQP start? Are Feasibility Studies Required?
Re: APQP and Quoting
Hi Jerry,
Happy New Year!
APQP starts when (in your case), the customer approaches you.
Yes, it's a very good idea to perform a feasibility study. It can be very brief for a product that you have produced previously, it can be longer if this is a new product.
Feasibility is part of the contract review process. Look at Clause 7.2.
