Second Edition
Effective November 1, 2008, APQP and Control Plan Second Edition replaces APQP and Control Plan First
Edition unless otherwise specified by your customer
APQP and Control Plan Second Edition includes
incorporation of the customer focused process approach
updated terminology and concepts consistent with ISO/TS 16949 and other Chrysler, Ford and
general Motors core tool manuals
appropriate references to customer specifics provided without the full text
This manual continues to provide general guidelines for ensuring that Advanced Product Quality Planning is
implemented in accordance with the requirements of the customer. It does not give specific instructions on
how to arrive at each APQP or Control Plan entry, a task best left to each organization
While these guidelines are intended to cover most situations normally occurring either in the early planning
design phase, or process analysis, there will be questions that arise. These questions should be directed to
your authorized customer representative
The Supplier Quality Requirements Task Force gratefully acknowledges the contributions of the following
