ForewordFord Motor Company launched an Advanced Product Quality Planning StatusReporting Guideline (APQP) Fast Start Initiative in December 1994. A crossfunctional APQP team formed to review the existing FAO Procedures and targetbest practices. The 1994 version of this document was created at that time, tobe in line with the AIAG Advanced Product Quality Planning and Control PlanManual.Since that time, the external suppliers to Ford Motor Company, and internalsuppliers within Ford have used the FAO APQP Status Reporting Guideline tomonitor their own systems with regard to APQP.With the experience that has been acquired since 1994, it has becomenecessary to update this manual to reflect current practices, and successes. Inaddition, the Ford Product Development System (FPDS) has become thedocumented system for the Product Development processes within Ford(replacing World Class Timing).A cross-functional team was formed in 1999/2000 to review the 1994 FAO APQPmanual and practices, and this guideline has been updated to reflect generictiming with respect to the FPDS system. It also contains references (at the timeof publishing) to the FPDS Process Sheets. All of this is to clarify further theappropriateness of the APQP process, and its direct tie to the existingsystems/process Ford currently has in place.Furthermore, it is intended that the updated APQP process and FPDS timinginformation will assist the external supply base in understanding the differencesbetween their own timing requirements, and those which need to be met by theentire Vehicle Program in the delivery of a new vehicle.This Guideline documents the Ford APQP evaluation and status reportingprocess and is intended to be used for 2004 MY Programs and beyond. ThisGuideline does not replace the AIAG Advanced Product Quality Planning andControl Plan Reference Manual as the basis for quality planning.Advanced Product Quality PlanningRelease Level: 3.0Ford APQP Guideline (copyright , 2001)Page 2 of 83March 2001Uncontrolled Copy

Fundamentals of the APQP ProcessAdvanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a structured method for defining andexecuting the actions necessary to ensure a product satisfies the customer. APQP isprogram and supplier-led and is required of all system, subsystem and componentmanufacturing locations. This includes both internal and external suppliers to Ford.The Goal of APQPThe goal of APQP is to facilitate communication between all persons and activitiesinvolved in a program and ensure that all required steps are completed on time, with ahigh quality-of-event, at acceptable cost and quality levels.The Purpose of APQPThe purpose of this status reporting guideline is to establish:!"Common APQP expectations for the internal and external suppliers to FordMotor Company!"Common APQP process metrics!"A common program status reporting format!"Roles and responsibilities for APQP elements!"A better understanding of how the APQP elements relate to the Ford ProductDevelopment System (FPDS), specific FPDS milestones, and their timingThe Approach of APQPThis status reporting guideline describes 23 key APQP disciplines. Ford MotorCompany expectations are defined for these key disciplines in definitions, and detailedchecklists. The status for these disciplines is summarized using metrics described inthe Reporting section.This status reporting guideline is written from a supplier standpoint. A supplier is aninternal or external supplier of materials, components, subsystems, systems, designs orprocesses that will be delivered to a customer. A customer is the recipient of thesupplier's product or process. Besides customers, every supplier will havesubcontractors. A subcontractor is the provider of material or parts to a supplier.The Applicability of APQPAPQP status reporting is a requirement of all internal and external suppliers to Ford(including Ford Product Development). APQP must be done for new programs/partsand major part changes as appropriate. In addition, Product Development Teams are tomonitor the status of internal and external engineering and process developmentdisciplines and assess the "Quality-of-Event" as well as the timing and completi
