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.
