AIAG Core Tools of the North American Automotive Industry
Course Navigation
COURSE CONTENT
The Automotive Core Tools are very powerful methods to define, establish, understand and improve your manufacturing processes. IATF 16949 requires the use of the five tools of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), Statistical Process Control (SPC) & Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). The course is designed to provide an awareness of the purpose and practical application of these Core Tools. The course reviews the relationship between the five core tools and their application within IATF 16949:2016. Starting with an examination of the AIAG reference manuals, followed by instruction on the more common approaches, we then utilize workshops to provide hands on experience with each tool.
