AS9145 APQP & PPAP Training

Advanced Product Quality Planning and Production Part Approval Process

Days: 2

7:30 AM- 4:30 PM MST

Overview

Developing a new product is a complex process that requires proactive planning, strong collaboration, and reliable controls to ensure quality from concept through delivery. Without the right structure in place, organizations face costly delays, supplier quality issues, and risks that can impact performance and customer satisfaction.

Axeon’s AS9145 Advanced Product Quality Planning & Production Part Approval Process Training provides the framework needed to deliver aerospace products that meet requirements the first time. This course aligns with the AS9145 standard, which spans early concept development, design and process development, validation activities (PPAP), and post-delivery oversight. Participants will learn how these activities integrate with established aerospace quality standards, including AS9100, AS9102, AS9103, and AS9110.

Through expert guidance and practical exercises, this two-day course helps teams enhance planning discipline, strengthen supplier management, and ensure product and process readiness before full-scale production. Attendees will gain a solid understanding of project phases, documentation requirements, approval expectations, and how to apply a risk-based approach throughout the product lifecycle.

Delivered live in a virtual classroom environment, this instructor-led course includes hands-on workshops using industry tools such as SCMH checklists, real-world implementation examples, and a comprehensive case study. Whether you are overseeing production development, evaluating supplier readiness, or improving internal processes, this training equips you to reduce uncertainty, improve quality outcomes, and maintain compliance in today’s demanding aerospace environment.
