INTRODUCTION TO APQP
•What is APQP ?
•APQP is a structured method of
tracking, establishing &
improving the steps necessary to
assure that a product ( either
new or changed ) satisfies the
customer
4
APQP
Purpose of APQP :
•To facilitate communication with
all persons involved in a
programme & ensure that all
required steps are completed on
time, at acceptable cost &
quality level.

PRODUCT QUALITY PLANNING
Benefits :
•Drives resources
•Promotes early identification of required changes
•Avoids Delay in implementation of changes
•Provides quality product on time at the lowest cost

Special Characteristics
All products and processes have features
described by characteristics which are
important and need to be controlled.
However, some characteristics called
special characteristics require extra efforts
to minimise the risk of potential adverse
consequences.
30
Special Characteristics
Special characteristics involve those
product and / or process characteristics that
affect vehicle safety, compliance with
government regulations, or customer
satisfaction. Special characteristics consist
of :
Critical Characteristics &
Significant Characteristics
31
Special Characteristics
CRITICAL CHARACTERISTICS are those
product or process requirements that affect
• compliance with government regulation
• or safe vehicle / product function
Symbol : or <CC>
32
Special Characteristics
SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERISTICS are those
product, process, and / or test requirements which
are important for customer satisfaction
and
for which Quality Planning actions must be
summarised on a Control Plan.

APQP STATUS REPORTING GUIDELINE
What is APQP Status Reporting Guideline ?
This is a specific guideline evolved based on
APQP disciplines
Objectives of the guideline is to,
•Reinforce APQP as the basis of quality planning
•Develop a ‘Program Status Reporting Format’ for
APQP evaluation
•Link APQP evaluation process to Vehicle
Development Programme
•Define ‘Roles & Responsibilities’ for concerned
personnel involved in APQP Process
•Make APQP procedures common for suppliers & in-
house manufacturing / assembly operations
