About this lesson
This lesson provides an overview of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and explains its role in ensuring a structured and effective new product introduction process. You will learn why APQP should not be treated as a documentation exercise owned solely by the quality department, but as a cross-functional planning framework integrated with the project timing plan.
The session emphasizes how proper implementation of APQP prevents last-minute documentation issues and ensures readiness for full production. It also introduces how APQP connects with the other Automotive Core Tools, preparing you for the more detailed lessons that follow.
