AS9145 APQP/PPAP and AIAG Core Tools Training
Course Overview:
AS9145 is APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) for aerospace. Following the automotive AIAG Core Tools, APQP training includes Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Control Plans, Process Flows, Measurement System Analysis (MSA or Gauge R&R), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Core Tools are also an important, integral, and dynamic planning tool for the aerospace industry.
AS9145 is used as a guideline, and is not an AS standard for certification. It establishes requirements for performing and documenting APQP and integrates with the 9100, 9102, and 9103 standards.
This training course has been specially designed to include the customer specific requirements of the aerospace and automotive OEM’s and major Tier One suppliers, and incorporates the International Aerospace Quality Group course content.
The information is designed to help AS9100 practitioners, management reps, team members, quality, engineers, manufacturing, and internal auditors understand the requirements of the APQP specification and customer specific requirements for these core tools.
Our training method is to use hands-on workshops using your actual business examples, instead of canned case studies to provide you with the best, experiential learning approach. We will complete portions of a DFMEA, PFMEA and Control Plan for a portion of one of your production cells and products, so you have a gold standard template to utilize as a comparison after the training. Templates for the tools are also provided.
The workshop is offered as a 1 day overview or 2 day comprehensive session.
