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
