General Motors Corporation GM Global APQP Advanced Product Quality Planning Worldwide Purchasing October 2002 Revision 2 October 2002 GM 1927
Preface
This Reference Manual represents the collaborative efforts of a GM worldwide team engaged to develop a GM Common APQP process. Prior to this, each General Motors Supplier Quality
organization facilitated the implementation of the APQP process using divisional and regional specific methodologies.
The global team harmonized and standardized the various divisional and regional APQP processes and developed this GM APQP Manual (GM1927). This manual defines GM’s common global product quality planning requirements that are necessary to develop and implement an APQP process for a product or service. It is intended as a standard to provide the Supplier Quality Engineer, and the supplier, a common format from which to proceed with all steps of APQP.
This document is the second revision to the initial release and has been updated to reflect the most recent requirements set by General Motors for all Global Suppliers. As part of this update, a Revision History section has been added to provide a brief description of the October 2002 changes.
