Training
To ensure that manufacturers and suppliers speak the same language when it comes to quality assurance, the APQP4Wind Manual and Toolbox are supported by a training concept that ensures uniform application of the tool. The training effort is meant to substitute training given on a more random basis.
Training in the APQP4Wind concept is vital to establishing a common mindset and terminology in the wind industry when working with quality assurance processes. The APQP4Wind Training concept is designed to build these competencies and mature the industry. The training concept has multiple advantages: It ensures that suppliers follow the same procedures for the approval of sub-components (PPAP - Product Part Approval Process) and understand how the standards are to be adopted in practice.
