If you work within the aerospace industry and would like to improve your New Product Introduction process, we can help you in the implementation of the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) according to AS 9145. Through our audits, we will help you secure advanced product quality.
What is AS 9145?
AS 9145 is a standard designed specifically for the aviation, space and defence industry. The standard provides a structured process that is specific to new product development. It includes APQP and PPAP as part of its requirements.
The AS 9145 was established by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) in response to the regulatory and customer requirements that are predominant in the aerospace industry.
What is Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)?
Complex supply chains and products can mean plenty of possibilities for failure, especially when it concerns new products launch. Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a structured process that aims to ensure customer satisfaction when it comes to new products and processes.
APQP is used by innovative and progressive aerospace organisations to assure performance and quality through proper planning. APQP facilitates transparent feedback and communication throughout the supply chain and allows errors to be detected early on to deliver high-quality products.

What is the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)?
PPAP is an output of implementing APQP during a new product launch. Essentially, as the last step in the APQP process, PPAP will demonstrate whether you can replicate the production of parts with consistency to a customer’s standards.
