Automotive Quality Core Tools
The Automotive Quality Core Tools are defined as five supplemental techniques and/or methods which support the expectations of the automotive standards, whether IATF-16949 or the German-based VDA, and the global automotive industry. Even though these tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC and MSA) are integrated into the automotive manufacturing domain, they are used in aerospace and other manufacturing industries also. The Alabama Training Network (ATN) can provide training on each of the core tools to meet the needs of a company. ATN’s classes teach the method and application of the tools with real world examples and exercises to effectively train employees. ATN can also assist in the set up and implementation of the core tools to help a company meet their customer requirements.
