1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of the procedure is to define steps necessary to ensure that the product satisfies the
customer and also to facilitate communication with everyone involved in planning to ensure that
all required steps are completed on time.
2.0 SCOPE
The scope of the procedure laid down is applicable laid down is applicable to development of new
products / modification & development of existing products of R.K.I
3.0 RESPONSIBILITY
Multi discipline team headed by PED
4.0 PROCEDURE
Flow chart in the subsequent pages establishes the steps involved in Advanced Product
Quality planning
The different phases for the APQP process, inputs and outputs of each phase are
summarized in the annexed table.
The responsibility of team members in the APQP process is also explained in the annexed
table.
A review meeting is conducted by the PED with MDT members to ensure that the activities
are executed as planned and to provide necessary support from the management and to
administer the commitment through assistance in any open issued.
In case of any project, which involves only customization of standard products already
developed by VPK, the PED carries out the development activities.
Special characteristics identification.
All product and process characteristics are important and need to be controlled. However, some
characteristics herein referred to as “special” need extra attention because excessive variation
in them might affect a products safety, compliance with government regulations, fit, function,
appearance or quality of subsequent manufacturing operations.

Identification of special characteristics
Is a product characteristic for which
reasonably anticipated variation could
significantly affect product's safety or its
compliance with government
regulations?
Critical Characteristics A product characteristics for which
reasonably anticipated Variation is likely SC
to significantly affect customer
satisfaction with a product such as its
fit, function, and mounting.
4.1 STATUS REVIEW:
MDT shall review that status of product development at identified stages in APQP flow chart.
When required this review shall be made along with Proprietor. Review can be carried out at any other
development stages when required by MDT.
