1. APQP - Advanced Product Quality Planning
Definition: Advanced product quality planning (APQP)
establishes new products and processes that are successful in
meeting customer requirements.
APQP helps identify critical to quality sub-systems from the
client’s perspective. .
PPAP is an output of APQP processes and techniques.
Purpose: Identify potential issues early in the design phase to
prevent costly defects later.
Key Steps:
Product Planning and Definition
Product Design and Development
Process Design and Development
Product and Process Validation

Ashutosh Patil
2. FMEA - Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
Definition: A method to identify and analyze potential
failure modes in a system or process.
Purpose: Proactively assess risks and their impact on
the system.
Steps:
Identify potential failure modes.
Analyze the effects of each failure.
Prioritize based on severity, occurrence, and
detection.
Develop action plans to address risks.

Ashutosh Patil
3. Control Plans
Definition: A detailed document outlining the controls and
monitoring methods for ensuring consistent product
quality.
Purpose: Ensure that processes are controlled to meet the
product specifications.
Contents:
Process flow
Control methods (inspection, testing)
Acceptance criteria
Frequency of checks

Ashutosh Patil
4. MSA - Measurement System Analysis
Definition: Measurement statistical analysis (MSA) is the
practice of using statistical tools such as a gage R&R to
determine if a measurement system is capable of precise
measurement
Purpose: The purpose of MSA is to assure that a selected
measurement system delivers reliable results with
repeatability and reproducibility.
Key Element:
Accuracy: How close measurements are to the true value.
Precision: How repeatable measurements are.
Consistency: How much variation is introduced by the
measurement system

Ashutosh Patil
5. SPC - Statistical Process Control
Definition: Statistical process control (SPC) is the
method of collecting measurements on
manufacturing processes or products as
actionable quality-driven data. This data is used
to monitor levels of manufacturing quality and
control processes.
Purpose: Detect variations in processes and
prevent defects.
Tools:
• Control charts
• Process capability analysis
• Histograms

Ashutosh Patil
6. PPAP - Production Part Approval Process
Definition: The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is a
standardized process in the automotive and aerospace
industries that helps manufacturers and suppliers
communicate and approve production designs and processes
before, during, and after manufacture. There are 5 PPAP
submission levels which determine the PPAP requirements.
Purpose: Confirm the process capability and ensure
that the product meets design specifications.
Steps:
Submission of samples, data, and documents to
the customer.
Validation of production processes.
Approval for full-scale production
