Introduction to Quality Core Tools In the highly competitive environments of Automotive / Manufacturing, organizations are challenged with three simultaneous and equally momentous goals: • Provide high quality products meeting or exceeding customer expectations • Produce sustainable volume • Deliver on time To be successful in all three, the standard has evolved to provide guidance to these industries. The specific expectations of IATF 16949 are supported by the Quality Core Tools.

When applied properly, the Quality Core Tools are the value-added methods and techniques that make it possible for an organization to achieve all three goals. What are the Quality Core Tools The Quality Core Tools are defined as five supplemental techniques and/or methods which support the expectations of IATF 16949. These tools are documented separately through the publication of five manuals available through Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG). The traditional five core tools are listed in their order of use when designing products or processes: • • • • • An additional core process included in Quality Core Tools discussions by Quality-One is: • Special Characteristics What is Advanced Product Quality Planning Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a tool box of methods and techniques which are used to assure product quality by communicating requirements, specifications and risks. APQP is a structured approach to product and process design which facilitates communication between suppliers, design communities and customers.

APQP supports the never ending and relentless continuous improvement intent of IATF 16949. There are five sections or phases of APQP with an additional Input phase: • Pre-Planning or Input • The Pre-Planning phase supports investigation of lessons learned and the establishment of assumptions which are used to assure success. • Plan and Define • The reliability, quality and design goals are established, linking to written and achievable requirements. • Preliminary design concepts are used to establish a Bill of Material (BOM) facilitating Product and Process Planning. • Product Design and Development • The product design phase inserts reliability and quality tools into the project timeline intended to discover technical risks. Technical risk is the substitute for failure. Actions directed against identified risks are beneficial in preventing failure of products in both testing and use.
