Five major tools include APQP, FMEA, PPAP, SPC, and MSA. These five core quality tools are often referred to as the 'TS Five Core Quality Tools.' In fact, these tools were developed by the North American AIAG—Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG was initiated by the three major American automotive groups: Ford, GM, and Chrysler). Below is an introduction to the related content: 1. Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP); 2. Production Part Approval Process (PPAP); 3. Statistical Process Control (SPC); 4.
