The APQP spreadsheet used by Polaris includes the corresponding page number referencing each of the APQP steps for quick orientation. Rev 6.1

The APQP/PDP Spreadsheet acts as both a workbook and project tracker Relevant product information is entered Cross functional teams are established Individual tasks are selected and assigned Time lines are managed by date, responsibility, and percent of completion Documentation relative to the project is stored Overall APQP/PDP performance/progress is reported Here is where progress is recorded and stored Rev 6.1

Risk is determined by several factors: Time to resource New product New supplier Design risks Safety critical Technically complex Supplier assessment score Supplier performance (history) The Polaris Risk Assessment considers the factors and selects whether the APQP/PDP workbook will be level 1, 2 or 3 Each level will have a minimum number of APQP steps assigned required to be completed by both Polaris and the Supplier There are 63 possible steps to select on the APQP/PDP spreadsheet. These steps are selected by all or part of both cross functional teams. Based on project risk, Polaris has 3 levels of APQP/PDP with minimum required steps preselected. Rev 6.1

Level 1 – Low Risk 21 Mandatory APQP Steps Selected Level 2 – Medium Risk 28 Mandatory APQP Steps Selected Level 3 – High Risk 39 Mandatory APQP Steps Selected These are minimum APQP requirements as determined by Polaris, other value added APQP steps may be selected by the Supplier/Polaris cross functional teams When saving APQP/PDP workbooks please use the naming convention of: project name_supplier_part number Rev 6.1

There are 5 PDP Gates/Milestones total Rev 6.1

The tabs at the bottom of the workbook are hyperlinked to the steps on the APQP sheet Information on APQP and sometimes sample forms are located on these tabs The tabs should also be used to convey information related to the selected step Rev 6.1
