Show Notes

The Quality Horizon is focused on expanding the knowledge of our listeners on products and tools within the IAQG.
 
In this episode, we're joined by Jennifer Gray with Spirit Aerosystems who talks about APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process).
 
We're tackling the topic at a high level and asking the questions - What is APQP? How does PPAP work within the APQP and What are the five phases involved in the 9145 standard?
 
Gray also shares with us her involvement and commitment to the early careers program and the advice she has for young professionals looking to join the IAQG.
 
Gray is the IDR for the 9145 writing team, the SDR for the 9163 writing team, the global APQP deployment team leader, and was recently named the team lead for the AAQG.
