6. What is APQP?
Advanced Product Quality Planning is a structured method of defining and establishing the steps necessary to assure that a product satisfies the customer’s needs and that failure modes are identified and mitigated early in development process
Hard to Find
Easy to Fix Failures
Easy to Find
Hard to Fix Failures

7. Guiding Principles
The AIAG Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Control Plan Reference Manual [available at aiag.org] provides the general guidelines for ensuring that APQP is implemented in accordance with the requirements of the customer.
The APQP spreadsheet used by Polaris includes the corresponding page number referencing each of the APQP steps for quick orientation

8. Why do APQP? A
Advanced – start early, with concepts, drive collaboration from onset
Product – focus on the product and the customer needs/requirements
Quality – Get it right the first time, efficiently and every time, build quality in from concept
Planning – Collaboration will drive a robust plan and a superior product launch P Q P

9. Who has responsibility within APQP?
Project Lead SQE – Assigns key dates (gates) and measures progress of entire program
SQE’s – Facilitate APQP activities with suppliers, help to pull in PII resources, coordinate joint activities, keep project on task, support the supplier
Plant Quality – Support suppliers, SQE’s, design engineers, etc through the course of APQP. Play pivotal role in customer needs and PPAP approval.
Engineering – Execute assigned APQP activities, participate in design reviews, FMEA reviews, etc and support supplier for DFM activities
Purchasing – Assist in APQP activities, support entire team and collaborate as necessary to ensure tasks are completed on time and accurately
Supplier – Execute APQP activities, on time, thoroughly to prepare for a successful launch
Execute to the plan

What Parts get APQP?
BOM Parts
New/Revised Parts
Group 1, Group 2 Risk Parts
Critical Parts
APQP Parts
Identify parts that are Safety- or Performance-Critical
All Group 1 Risk Parts + Group 2 Parts that have new/problem supplier or historically problem part
Highest risk critical parts
Parts follow detailed supplier selection process. Risk communicated through heat map
Part status managed and communicated through APQP Plan/Report Card
Sourced Product Risk Analysis
Project-Level Heat Map
Part Risk Management Funnel
Narrow full BOM to critical few parts with greatest risk to program

11. Supplier Risk Management Framework

SQE Project Leader assigns key dates
APQP Project Kicked off with Supplier
Supplier and SQE collaborate to submit and approve key elements
Project SOP
End APQP with Phase 5 review
APQP Level Selection
Level M – Manual
63 Total Potential APQP Steps to Select
Level 1 – Low Risk
21 Mandatory APQP Steps Selected
Level 2 – Medium Risk
29 Mandatory APQP Steps Selected
Level 3 – High Risk
39 Mandatory APQP Steps Selected
Level M is for manually selecting requirements based on project, part and/or supplier need
Levels 1 – 3 are minimum APQP requirements as determined by Polaris, other value added APQP steps may be selected by the Supplier/Polaris cross functional teams

13. How the Key Dates are Selected
High Level Part Risk Identified pre G2
Heat Map to drive APQP Level (H/M/L)
SQE Project Leader assigns key dates
APQP Project Kicked off with Supplier
Supplier and SQE collaborate to submit and approve key elements
Project SOP
End APQP with Phase 5 review
How the Key Dates are Selected
Key dates are selected based off of PDP gate milestones and key build dates and assigned by the lead PII SQE
Gate 2
V (Validation) Build
PDP Design Revew
PI (Production Intent) Build
PV (Process Verification) Build
Gate 3
SOP
All dates between milestone dates are to be agreed upon by Polaris and Supplier and must meet key Gate dates.
Key Dates are selected by Polaris – Activity Dates selected by team

14. High Level Part Risk Identified pre G2
Heat Map to drive APQP Level (H/M/L)
SQE Project Leader assigns key dates
APQP Project Kicked off with Supplier
Supplier and SQE collaborate to submit and approve key elements

End APQP with Phase 5 review
Supplier APQP Kickoff
The Kickoff meeting is one of the most important events for a supplier working on APQP.
Objectives of Kickoff:
Establish Part List
Establish Core Team
Communicate key dates and JOINTLY select activity dates
Agree upon a review / submittal cadence
Determine escalation path if project goes off track
Kickoff meeting is critical to project success

15. Fulfilling the Requirements

End APQP with Phase 5 review
Fulfilling the Requirements
Be thorough in your document review before submitting
Add completion percentage to cover sheet: when 1.0 is entered, SQE will review that element and sign off or send back comments/feedback
Add non-data intensive elements to the workbook tabs
For data intensive elements, add cover sheet to tab and send actual documents to SQE via

16. How to use the APQP spreadsheet

19. How to use the APQP spreadsheet

20. How to use the APQP spreadsheet
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

21. How to use the APQP spreadsheet
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
Marked up drawings for 2.2 DFM&A, completed 2.13 MFC, completed Packaging Approval Form are a few examples of items which should be attached to the workbook
Larger items such as PFMEAs and Control Plans we ask that upon completion the first page of the document be placed on the corresponding tab and the full copy sent to the SQE for review
One of the many advantages of APQP is PPAP related documents, which have to be submitted before the PPAP due date, can be preapproved by Polaris ahead of time by obtaining a GOLD square
The Polaris SQE is saying, “This document is ready for PPAP submission”

22. How to use the APQP spreadsheet
PDP Status Tab of Workbook Provides a Snapshot of PDP Progress by the Supplier
Populated from APQP Spreadsheet

23. SOP - PPAP One core outcome of APQP is a first pass of the PPAP

SOP - PPAP
One core outcome of APQP is a first pass of the PPAP
Collaboration between Supplier and Polaris should aid in this successful PPAP approval
Submit early if possible
The primary outcome is successful production launch
Success = PV builds with no major quality spills, SOP builds with no quality spills, fulfilled safe launch period, no line down situations, no field actions
APQP  Successful SOP

24. How is APQP Tracked?
