Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP/PQ)

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a structured method of defining and establishing the steps necessary to ensure that a product satisfies the customer.

The APQP module in EnterpriseIQ facilitates compliance to QS-9000 and TS 16949 requirements, and includes templates for Ford and GM. In addition, the module supports user-defined elements, allowing companies to customize the program based on their individual needs and requirements.

APQP in EnterpriseIQ provides complete tracking of all the information required for process documentation and definition, and features direct links to FMEAs, Control Plans, inventory items, customer information, and more. In addition, the APQP system supports timely completion of required tasks, as well as effective communication with employees, customers and vendors.

Electronic Submission of APQP (eAPQP)

• Based on AIAG format, but allows for customization to specific customer requirements
• Transmits documents such as FMEA and Control Plans for use in industries other than automotive
• Leverages IQMS eServer to automatically import and export files and save time
