QAPP CI · SUPPORTING CI METHOD
Standard Work
Define the current best-known method, sequence, time and conditions required for repeatable execution.
When it helps
Define the current best-known method, sequence, time and conditions required for repeatable execution.
Data and preparation
Work sequence, time, standard WIP, checks and safety/quality conditions
Practical workflow
- Observe the real method, not only the written procedure.
- Define sequence and critical criteria.
- Test the method with operators.
- Display/control the standard version.
- Update the standard after confirmed improvement.
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.
