Advanced product quality planning (APQP) is a framework of procedures and techniques used to develop products in industry, particularly in the automotive industry. It differs from Six Sigma in that the goal of Six Sigma is to reduce variation but has similarities to Design for Six Sigma (DFSS).
Manufacturing process management (MPM) is a collection of technologies and methods used to define how products are to be manufactured. MPM differs from ERP/MRP which is used to plan the ordering of materials and other resources, set manufacturing schedules, and compile cost data.
Quality, cost, delivery (QCD), sometimes expanded to quality, cost, delivery, morale, safety (QCDMS), [1] is a management approach originally developed by the British automotive industry. [2] QCD assess different components of the production process and provides feedback in the form of facts and figures that help managers make logical decisions.
Production planning is the future of production. It can help in efficient manufacturing or setting up of a production site by facilitating required needs. [2] A production plan is made periodically for a specific time period, called the planning horizon. It can comprise the following activities:
ISO 9001 states that the Quality Management System requirements of the standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to any organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides, however, ISO has also published separate standards which specify Quality Management System requirements for specific industries.
Computer-aided quality assurance (CAQ) is the engineering application of computers and computer-controlled machines for the planning and implementation of the quality of products. [1] This includes: Measuring equipment management; Goods inward inspection; Vendor rating; Attribute chart; Statistical process control (SPC) Documentation ...
Process qualification is the qualification of manufacturing and production processes to confirm they are able to operate at a certain standard during sustained commercial manufacturing. Data covering critical process parameters must be recorded and analyzed to ensure critical quality attributes can be guaranteed throughout production. [ 1 ]
A single sampling plan for attributes is a statistical method by which the lot is accepted or rejected on the basis of one sample. [4] Suppose that we have a lot of sizes ; a random sample of size < is selected from the lot; and an acceptance number is determined.
