QAPP CI · SUPPORTING CI METHOD
Pull & Kanban
Link replenishment to actual consumption using explicit signals and visible limits.
When it helps
Link replenishment to actual consumption using explicit signals and visible limits.
Data and preparation
Consumption, replenishment lead time, lot/container, capacity, variability and rules
Practical workflow
- Define the replenishment loop.
- Measure consumption and replenishment time.
- Set initial quantity/signal and exception rules.
- Pilot in a controlled area.
- Adjust signals using real data.
What QAPP records
| Before | During | After |
|---|---|---|
| Scope, baseline, ownership, evidence | Actions, timestamps, observations, exceptions | Result, effectiveness, standard update, follow-up |
Connection to AIAG
This is a supporting Continuous Improvement method, not an AIAG Core Tool. In QAPP, findings can feed a CQI-20/8D problem-solving workflow and, when the process risk/control changes, trigger review of PFMEA, Control Plan, MSA/SPC or other applicable Core Tool records.
Interpretation limits
Do not use the tool as a ritual. Define a measurable problem, baseline and decision rule, then verify whether the change improved the process without creating another risk.
