Project Management and Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) are two critical techniques used in product development in the mobility industry today. This course will bring these techniques together in an easy to understand format that goes beyond the typical concept of constructing timelines and project planning, by exploring not only the Automotive APQP process, but also key aspects of PM processes. Particpants will gain a solid foundation in the principles and application of Project Management and APQP and apply learned skills by working through all phases of a sample Project Plan project using industry-based documents encountering realistic issues, constraints, etc. that are introduced throughout to stimulate a realistic actual project environment.
