Core Tools in Automotive —
A Practical Guide for Your Team

Why you need core tools now?

Core Tools in automotive (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC, CP) are not paperwork — they help you anticipate risk, stabilise processes and pass audits without chaos. If you work in the automotive supply chain, you face daily pressure. Zero defects, on-time delivery, costs and customer expectations – sounds familiar? This e-book answers your top questions: “Where do we start?”, “How do we implement step-by-step?”, “How do we avoid IATF 16949 audit findings?”

What’s inside “Core Tools in automotive”? 

Core tools are the tools in the automotive industry that exists since the 1990s. They are the key elements of an effective quality management system that meets the needs and expectations of customers.

Core tools include:

• Advanced Product Quality Planning and Control,
• Part Approval Process,
• Failure Mode and Effects Analysis,
• Statistical Process Control,
• Measurement System Analysis.

The above-mentioned key quality tools relate to the American approach. These are the so-called “blue books” published by AIAG. But the American approach is not the only one! We also have a German approach. And here we will talk about the key quality methods issued by VDA-QMC.

In this e-book, you will learn about each of the American and German quality core tool.
