APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) is a methodology for managing development and industrialization projects, applicable for new products, but also for deviations from a product already submitted to a customer (modification of design, raw material, production site, etc.). It defines the steps, milestones and expected deliverables for each project activity, namely:

Schedule
Product Design and Development
Process Design and Development
Product and Process Validation
Production
The PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) corresponds to all the deliverables and justifications of conformity, resulting from the APQP, that each supplier must provide to its customer during the development project until the launch of series production. The content of the PPAP is also standardized for certain industries (18 elements for automotive and 11 for aeronautics), but may vary according to the requirements issued by the customer. It can therefore be considered as an output of the APQP process.

The APQP brings together various expertise and methods, from market research to FMECA or MSA, and aims to harmonize its management and feedback, whether to the client or to auditors. It aims to demonstrate the robustness of the company's design and manufacturing according to the requirements (functional, production rate) and specifications (drawings, technical documents) of the customer, through the rigorous validation of each required step. By way of example, we find below all the steps for the automotive APQP.

The main objective of these subjects is to introduce students to the basic principles of automotive mechanics, and includes an understanding of the function of basic components of vehicles and basic competencies in maintenance and repair subjects.

Article content:

Introduction to Automotive: A presentation of the history of automobiles, technological developments, and current trends in the automotive industry.

Engine Function: Study of the basic principles of an internal combustion engine, including air management, carburetor, and lighting. Understand the different types of engines (core, diesel, electric) and composites.

Transmission Systems: Explore different transmission types (manual and automatic) and vehicles. Understand the basic principles of force transmission.

Charging Systems: Study of charging systems, including disc brakes and drum tires. Training in tire maintenance and repair techniques.

Suspension and directional systems: Understand the components of the suspension and directional system and their role in road course and channel comfort.

Automotive Electricity and Electronics: An introduction to the electrical and electronic systems of vehicles, including the battery, charging system, lighting system, and engine management systems.

Preventive Maintenance: Learn about basic maintenance procedures, oil drain data, filter replacements, and fluid checks.

Diagnosis and Repair: Develop diagnostic competencies to identify and repair mechanical problems. Use of auto repair tools and equipment.

Car Security: A discussion of safety standards and safety equipment in vehicles, as well as good practices for the safety channel.

Training methods: Introduction to Automotive Mechanics courses generally combine theoretical conferences in the classroom with practical work in the workshop. Students get the opportunity to practically measure their knowledge by performing simple repairs on real vehicles.

Assessment: Student assessment can include written tests, workshop practical work, research projects and assessments of practical competencies.

Conclusion: Introduction to Automotive Mechanics is essential material for anyone who needs to work in the automotive industry, learn automotive mechanics, or simply understand the function of their own vehicle. It provides a solid base for ongoing training in this ever-evolving field.
