Helping suppliers meet customer APQP, PPAP and Core Tool requirements with practical implementation support.
We help aerospace and manufacturing businesses implement practical APQP and Core Tools that reduce risk, improve process control, and strengthen customer confidence.

Expert APQP Support, When You Need It
Many suppliers are expected to use APQP and Core Tools…
It causes issues due to….
Its a Customer paperwork exercises
No-one knows where to start
Customer expectations not clear (remember these tools are new to them)
Not got the skills on-site
Generic templates no one uses
FMEAs disconnected from production
No actions or reactions to FMEA Scores
Control Plans that don’t reflect the process
Capability studies with no real understanding
Not sure what the difference is with CP & CPK
Unsure why we have to do a GR&R
Unsure how to correct failed GR&R or review and correct capability studies
Not knowing how they all link together to reduce defects
Last-minute reactions during launches or audits
Our APQP expert is Ex automotive with 20 years implementing APQP Tools.
What we Help with:
Operations using the Core tools to reduce costs and improvement Quality
APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning)
APQP helps ensure products and processes are properly planned before production begins reducing launch risk, customer issues, and costly late changes.
Helping businesses implement APQP that improve communication, planning, & production readiness.
Support includes:
APQP planning and implementation
Customer requirement review
Cross-functional project coordination
Risk identification and mitigation
Process readiness reviews
Supplier APQP support
NPI and launch management
Production readiness activities
Control Plans
Control Plans should reflect how the process is actually controlled — not just exist for the customer file.
We help develop practical Control Plans linked directly to risk and process controls.
Support includes:
Process flow integration
Reaction plans
Inspection and verification planning
Linking to PFMEA outputs
Operator-focused controls
Visual process control methods
Outcome
Clearer process control and improved consistency across production.
SPC & Capability Analysis
We help businesses move from reacting to problems… to controlling variation before failures occur.
Support includes:
SPC implementation
Control chart setup
Cp / Cpk / Pp / Ppk studies
Process capability analysis
Variation reduction
Process monitoring systems
Operator understanding and training
Outcome
Improved process stability, capability, and customer confidence.
FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
We help teams use FMEAs properly to identify risk before failures occur.
Support includes:
Process FMEA development
Design review support
Risk prioritisation
Severity / occurrence / detection assessment
Linking FMEAs to Control Plans
Facilitating cross-functional workshops
Updating legacy FMEAs
Outcome
Better risk visibility, improved prevention, and fewer recurring problems.
MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis)
Poor measurement systems create false data, false decisions, and unnecessary variation.
We help assess whether your measurement systems are capable and reliable.
Support includes:
Gauge R&R studies
Variable and attribute MSA
Measurement risk assessment
Inspection method reviews
Stability and bias analysis
Practical operator guidance
Outcome
Confidence that your data reflects the true process.
PPAP (Production Part Approval Process)
PPAP demonstrates that your process is capable of consistently producing parts that meet customer requirements.
The PPAP itself should be the easy part it’s the outcome of all the planning, risk reduction, process control, and preparation completed beforehand.
When APQP, FMEA, Control Plans, MSA, and process capability are implemented properly, the PPAP becomes evidence of a controlled and capable process rather than a last-minute paperwork exercise.
We help businesses build practical PPAP packages with the right evidence, control, and supporting documentation.
Support includes:
PPAP submission support
FAIR and dimensional review
Process flow development
PFMEA and Control Plan alignment
Capability studies
MSA and inspection evidence
Balloon drawing and characteristic review
Customer-specific requirement support
Outcome
Stronger customer confidence, smoother approvals, and reduced risk during production launch
This Is For You If…
Your customer is asking for APQP, PPAP, or Core Tool compliance
You’re struggling to turn customer requirements into practical systems
APQP activities are being completed late or reactively
The process seems too extreme and excessive (we streamline)
FMEAs and Control Plans exist but aren’t driving real process control
FMEA scoring isn’t aligned with the Aerospace standard
Your PPAPs feel like stressful paperwork exercises every launch
You need support preparing capability studies, MSA, or SPC evidence
Your team lacks the internal resource or experience to lead APQP properly
You’re introducing new products or processes and want to reduce risk
Customer-specific requirements are becoming difficult to manage
You want stronger process control before problems reach the customer
Your business is growing but your quality systems haven’t matured with it
You need practical support that works operationally not just templates and theory
You want to improve launch readiness, customer confidence, and production stability
You need someone who understands aerospace, manufacturing, and real-world operational pressures
Our 4 Approaches to consider
Team Training
Build internal understanding of APQP, PPAP, and Core Tools.
Implementation Support
Develop practical systems and documentation that work operationally.
Customer & Launch Support
Additional expertise during customer projects, NPI, and production launch activities.
Flexible Quality Resource
Experienced support when you need it without adding full-time headcount.
Every business starts from different positions however what generally happens is a combination of all these approaches
