The purpose of this document is to describe the relationship between a customer and a
supplier in a common Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) Manual developed by
the APQP4Wind organization. The APQP4Wind Manual provides the information and requirements to develop a Product Quality Plan (PQP) that should enable the development and production of products or services that will fulfill the wind industry’s requirements.

The main objective of the approach outlined in this APQP4Wind Manual is to:

• Reduce variation to ensure stable and capable processes.
• Reduce the risk of defects and the costs of quality when introducing new products
and services, thereby bringing down the costs of energy.
• Reduce complexity.
• Improve alignment of Product Quality Planning in the wind industry value chain.
• Provide an effective way of communicating quality requirements to Suppliers and
Sub-Suppliers.
• Avoid problem/failure repetition.

Product specification:

• Online edition.
