I was doing some searching and saw this:
http://www.qualitymag.com/CDA/ArticleInformation/features/BNP__Features__Item/0,6425,99169,00.html
The article looks dated despite the posting date of 5 May 2003. And the content does not appear to support the article title per se.
Any comments?

Future of APQP and PPAP in Doubt
By Roderick A. Munro
As ISO/TS 16949 moves toward becoming the newest standard in the automotive arena, Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Parts Approval Process (PPAP) and their applications--which were born out of U.S. initiatives--will undoubtedly reflect the changes brought by the new international standard. The impact of ISO/TS 16949 on the U.S. automotive industry will be felt all the way from the supply chain to the automotive assembly lines.
