About SmartAPQP
SmartAPQP is the connected platform for IATF 16949 manufacturers — from customer RFQ to PPAP to production. APQP, FMEA, Control Plan, MSA, PPAP, ECN, CAPA, supplier collaboration and lessons learnt all run on one Part Master, with one audit trail and one workflow engine.
Most quality systems are eight tools pretending to be one. RFQs live in Excel. APQP runs in a project tracker that doesn't know about parts. FMEAs and Control Plans live in Word. PPAPs become PDF binders. ECNs travel by email. Suppliers get drawings as ZIPs. And the lessons your last program taught you live in one engineer's head. Two stories define the product. First, Quote-to-Launch: a customer RFQ arrives; Costing auto-skeletons a cost sheet from your BOM, MBOM and tooling; the quote is built on the approved sheet, internally approved, and won; the won quote auto-spawns a fully linked APQP project — FMEA, Control Plan, MSA, PSW and PPAP all running on the same parts you costed.
