Hi,

I've just joined this forum and wondered if anyone can assist me. I've been tasked with writing a general develpment manual/program for the quality control department...I basically need to set out a quality program on how to design, develop, approve and manufacture new products for the market place.

I'm looking at APQP and PPAP as guide for this...Can anyone suggest any websites or any other guides/tools that i can incorporate? Thanks

Hello Steve and Welome to the Cove forums.
This is the best place to find the information you need. Do a search for what you are looking for. I have seen numerous information discussed and attached on APQP, and PPAP.:bigwave:

Welcome to the cove,
Not Dagenham by any chance?
APQP here is a presentation of APQP that Marc produced.
The aim of APQP is as you described, there are a lot of check-lists and other tools available here.
Please remember that APQP is the process, one of the tools is FMEA and PPAP is the method of reporting the conclusions.
Please come as often as you want and ask freely.

Thanks for the replys...my company is based in Rainham. So basically APQP is the method i.e. the product development program itself...APQP is the guide on how to do?

Tools to help monitor the development and ways of checking results are FMEA, SPC, CUSUM plots etc

The report and conclusion is done in the format of PPAP? And then future improvements are monitored/developed by using Kaizen theory of continuous improvements i.e. Plan, Develop, Action, Check cycle?

Am I correct in my way of thinking above or am I missing something?? What software based programs will be important/vital to use for the above e.g FMEAs?? Can anyone advise on the best place to purchase FMEA software please?

Many thanks for all and any help and advice offered...unfortunately I work for a manufacturing/engineering company thats stuck in the dark ages and has no idea of any lean manufacturing, continuous improvements or quality control tools! I was employed to improve things drastically but alas everything I've had to say and suggest to date has been ignored...until last week and now I've been challenged to sort everything out, so I need to make a strong impression and get results!

Cheers again,

Steve

Not auditable?

I have seen the link and I hava a doubt.

What do you mean is not auditable ?. (Highlighted bellow).

What is the AIAG’s APQP Reference Manual?

*
It Is General Information

*
It Does Not Address Specific Manufacturer Information or Requirements

*
It is NOT Auditable

*
It Does Attempt To Give Guidance

*
It Does NOT Address Any Specific Industry or Manufacturer

It is not a standard. If you do not make it part of your procedure then a 3rd party auditor cannot audit according to its requirements.

FMEA is not a monitoring tool. It is to find and estimate the risks of failures occuring and providing an adequate response by changing the severity, possibility of occurrence or detection see here FMEA
SPC etc are manners of controlling the process after it has been implemented.
APQP is a list of the points that should be raised during the planning stage to ensure that all issues are dealt with and during the production run you don't suddenly find that you are missing something.
The Control Plan is the collection of methods used to control the process and the part from raw material to dispatch.
There are a number of check-lists in the attachments area to help with this.
There are some software programs that combine the Process Flow Chart, FMEA and Control Plan. It is possible to use Excel or Word initially and there are also many templates available.
