APQP-PPAP according to AIAG

Too many requirements to meet?
Unfortunately, this is true, but knowing the requirements allows you to implement them effectively!

The automotive industry is a demanding industry: it is necessary to ensure “high” product quality with on-time delivery, while focusing on continuous improvement and minimizing errors and losses throughout the supply chain. All this to ensure high competitiveness. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements, car manufacturers require their suppliers to meet the requirements of the IATF 16949 standard, known before its new edition in 2016 as ISO/TS 16949. Learn more about this standard in our article IATF 16949 – what can your organization gain from this standard?
