Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a critical process in the automotive industry, originally developed to ensure products meet stringent OEM and consumer quality standards. Automotive suppliers often face challenges such as lack of real-time visibility, inconsistent process adherence, fragmented communication, and difficulties in managing the extensive data associated with product development. These challenges can result in delays, quality issues, and inefficiencies, ultimately impacting cost and delivery timelines.
Initially created for the automotive industry, APQP is now being increasingly adopted by aerospace suppliers, who face similar challenges due to the complexity and high quality standards of their products. EDS Technologies plays a key role in supporting automotive and aerospace suppliers by providing the tools and expertise necessary to streamline and optimize the APQP process. Through 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we enable suppliers to gain real-time visibility, improve collaboration, and ensure process adherence, ultimately driving better product quality and faster time-to-market. By integrating powerful tracking, data management, and analytics capabilities, EDS Technologies ensures that APQP processes are managed efficiently and effectively, helping suppliers mitigate risks and enhance decision-making.
