Video Training Transcript

Welcome to the T. Q. S. 9000 Family of Products learning session dedicated to creating a new APQP Project. If you have Total Quality System 9000, Total Advanced Quality 9000, or the Total Quality System 9000 Supplier Management Edition Software license, then you have full access to use the Advanced Product Quality Planning tools included in your Software.

Before we begin this session it is important to understand what we refer to as an APQP project. An APQP project in your software is defined as your control plan, F. M. E. A., flow chart, and work instructions. When you create a new APQP project, it will automatically be created in the work in progress library. Or as referred to in your software as the WIP library.

To start a new APQP project, navigate to the APQP Module. From the APQP project select the Start New APQP option.

After you have read the information pop up form, click O. K. to close the information pop up form.

You will then be presented with another information form that will describe the requirements for creating a new APQP project. Please read the information provided on this form and make sure you follow these instructions carefully. Once a user is confident in creating a new APQP project you may hide this form from showing each time you create a new APQP project. Remember that if your software is installed on a shared server, if you select to hide this form, it will be hidden from all users. Once you have read the information on this form you may select the close option to proceed with creating your APQP project.

The next form that is presented is the form where you will enter your basic APQP project information. The pink fields on this form are required to assure that your project is appropriately recorded and accessible. I. S. P. Software recommends that you fill in as much information as possible on this form before creating your APQP project. You may edit this information from your APQP project once it is created. If you have previously created a Feasibility Statement for this project, you may check the Feasibility Drop down list and it will automatically fill your project number to assure it matches your Feasibility Statement project number. You may select the Current WIP Projects and Approved Projects drop down lists to assure you do not duplicate project numbers. Enter your unique project number, your company name, the model number or part number, part name, department number, department name, blue print change date and revision identification, process name, customer code, key contact phone number, core team names, revision level for this APQP project, the revision date of this project, the original date of your project, the name of the person who will be approving this project, and the customer approval date if known. The customer approval date may be updated once obtained.

After you have entered as much information as possible, you may click the continue button at the top of this form.

The supplier code and P. PAP due dates may be entered if you using the Total Quality System 9000 Family of Products Supplier Management Edition tools to schedule a P. PAP for your supplier. In all other cases please leave these field empty.

On the second form that will automatically pop up, click the part number field which is the project number that you entered on the previous form. The information that is provided on this form are the default entries that will appear as your header information on your control plan, flow chart, F. M. E. A., and work instructions. No other information is required on this form although if you would like to change the default headers that will appear on your forms you may edit them for each new project that you create.

You may now select to close this form and your new APQP project will be created.

To now open your new APQP project for editing, click on the Edit APQP project feature. Select the APQP Project List Work in Progress Library option and select the new project that you created to open it for editing. At any time, you may select the edit project data option on the main control plan form to edit your project information by selecting the header data option. You may also edit the header labels that appear on your printed reports by selecting the headers label option.

This concludes this learning session for creating a new APQP project. You may select additional T. Q. S. 9000 learning sessions dedicated to completing your control plan, F. M. E. A., flow chart, and work instructions from our list of T. Q. S. 9000 Family or Products video learning sessions. You may also select the T. Q.
