Core Quality Tools

The five core quality tools are foundational methods in automotive, aerospace and manufacturing quality management, widely used within IATF 16949 and AS9100. They help organizations plan ahead, prevent risk and control processes so product quality stays stable. IngSafe provides implementation and training for the core tools.

  • APQP

    Advanced Product Quality Planning — a structured process from concept to mass production that ensures quality activities and milestones are met.

  • PPAP

    Production Part Approval Process — standardized documentation proving the process can consistently produce conforming parts for production approval.

  • FMEA

    Failure Mode and Effects Analysis — systematically identifies potential design/process failures, assesses risk and applies preventive measures.

  • MSA

    Measurement System Analysis — evaluates the variation and reliability of measurement systems to support quality decisions.

  • SPC

    Statistical Process Control — uses statistics to monitor process variation, catch anomalies early and keep processes stable.
