APQP — Advanced Planning

Product quality planning driven by real data, evidence and traceability

APQP structures planning from concept to production, ensuring objective evidence, phase-based traceability and decisions driven by real data — not assumptions or isolated documents.

What this module delivers

  • Complete APQP phase structure
  • Objective evidence per deliverable and milestone
  • Traceability between requirements, process and product
  • Auditable history of decisions and approvals
  • Native integration with QIF, MSA and SPC

APQP without evidence becomes bureaucracy

When APQP is reduced to static checklists and disconnected documents, it loses its main purpose: ensuring product and process readiness based on real data.

  • Reduces risk of immature product launches.
  • Connects planning directly to real execution.
  • Creates a clear trail of decisions and validations.

Direct project impact

Less rework
Issues identified before reaching production.
Safer decisions
Approvals supported by evidence, not perception.
Reliable history
Everything recorded by phase, responsible and date.

APQP phases covered

The module organizes deliverables, criteria and evidence in each phase, maintaining continuity and traceability throughout the project.

Planning and definition

  • Customer requirements and quality targets.
  • Initial risk analysis.
  • Structured project planning.

Design and development

  • Link between product, process and requirements.
  • Revision control and technical decisions.
  • Foundation for FMEA and control plans.

Validation and production

  • Evidence of capability and stability.
  • Integration with MSA and SPC.
  • Formal approval for production release.

Structured evidence, not scattered files

Each APQP deliverable is recorded with context, responsible, date and links to product and process. This turns APQP into a living base of knowledge and traceability.

Phase-based traceability
From concept to production, without gaps.
Decision history
Who approved, when and based on which data.
Audit-ready evidence
Evidence prepared for internal and external audits.
Measurement integration
Real data connected to planning.

APQP connected to the IVR ecosystem

APQP reaches its full potential when connected to the Quality data ecosystem.

  • IVR QIF — structured data foundation (QIF (ISO 23952)).
  • IVR MSA — measurement system reliability.
  • IVR SPC — process stability and variation.
