Project Management and Advanced Product Quality Planning
(APQP) are two critical techniques used in product development
in the transportation industry today. This seminar will bring these
techniques together in an easy to understand format that goes beyond
the typical concept of constructing timelines and project planning,
by exploring not only the AIAG APQP process, but also specific
aspects of Ford, GM, and Chrysler APQP processes. Students will
examine the essential principles of Project Management and will gain
a solid foundation in APQP through the Quality portion of the Project
Management Body of Knowledge.
Students will immediately apply learned skills by taking a sample
project through all phases of the Project Plan using actual industry
documents. Realistic issues, problems and time constraints are
introduced throughout the exercise to stimulate actual project
concerns. Each workshop exercise uses documents specific to the
particular areas of study such as Statement of Requirements and
Statement of Work, Timeline use and planning, major milestones
of NAO based OEM APQP processes and PPAP. Students are
also introduced to specific applications and relationships between
ISO-9001:2000 and ISO/TS-16949. The workshop is structured so
that students must operate in teams and the time constraints allow
students to see first hand the effects of improper delegation of work
assignments.
Attendees will receive a copy of the book, Project Management Body
of Knowledge (3rd edition) by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
