Significant process optimizations are carried out in the product planning, development, and realisation phases in terms of quality.
The APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) reference manual describes the product creation phase, which includes the system build-up and development configuration, prototype, and production stages.
Advanced product quality planning is used in the phases of planning, product design and development, process design and development, product and process validation, and series production, as well as feedback, evaluations, and corrective actions. Development processes may be sped and cooperation can be optimised with constant use.
