The Essence of the Update

  • Learning & Innovation: Capitalizing on previous issues and bridging knowledge gaps, especially for "new technology" suppliers unfamiliar with APQP.
  • Control Plan Reimagined: Not only has the Control Plan been split into a separate document, but it's also been enriched with in-depth guidance and frequent updates reflecting the ongoing evolution in automotive products and processes.
  • Enhanced Sections: New segments, including Sourcing and Change Management, each equipped with detailed checklists or examples.
  • Gated Management: Comprehensive documentation checklists for each "gate" review, aligned with typical program milestones.

 

Diving into Control Plan Changes

In Chapter 1, amidst other content/changes, key insights include:
  • Special Characteristics: Introducing the use of a "correlation matrix" and procedures for handling customer-designated "key" or "critical" characteristics.
  • Pass-Through Characteristics: Mandating a process for identifying and ensuring control throughout the supply chain and communication of control methods to customers.
  • Directed Supply: Ensuring organizations glean necessary information from suppliers to develop their control plan, barring specifications from a mutually signed agreement.

Chapters 2 through 4 delve deeper into facets like Developing Control Plans, Control Plan Stages, and the Effective Use of Control Plans, respectively. Vital additions and clarifications, such as "Safe Launch" requirements, a detailed breakdown of phases in developing control plans, and multiple topics on the effective use of QMS, stand out.
