022. APQP in Real Life

022. APQP in Real Life

APQP is one of the most fundamental Core Tools in automotive quality. It is well known, widely required, and heavily audited – yet in many organisations, it exists mainly as a project file that is closed once SOP is achieved.

In this episode of Specifically About Quality, Agata Lewkowska Ph.D. and Christopher Scott focus on what APQP looks like in real life, beyond templates, gates, and formal reviews.

From the customer’s perspective, weak APQP means unstable launches, late surprises, and recurring problems that should have been prevented long before production started. When APQP is treated as a one-time project instead of a structured way of thinking, risks are identified too late, and lessons are not carried forward.

This episode is not about filling in APQP templates.
It’s about using APQP to build stable processes before the customer is exposed to risk.
