Over the past year and a half, Siemens Wind Power and Vestas Wind Systems have been working closely together on a common project along with their closest suppliers. The project, called APQP4WIND, is a new tool to ensure that manufacturers and suppliers speak the same language when it comes to quality assurance in the production phase. APQP4WIND is supported by The Danish Industry Foundation, and will be essential in ensuring that costly production errors are eliminated and thus help the industry deliver the necessary reductions in the levelized cost of energy (LCoE).
