QAPP CI · SUPPORTING CI METHOD
TPM
Connect equipment losses to basic conditions, planned maintenance and shared ownership.
When it helps
Connect equipment losses to basic conditions, planned maintenance and shared ownership.
Data and preparation
Stops, minor stops, defects, maintenance history, base conditions and speed losses
Practical workflow
- Define equipment and priority losses.
- Restore base conditions and inspection standards.
- Separate operator tasks from specialist maintenance.
- Plan prevention from failure modes and data.
- Measure loss reduction and update standards.
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.
