APQP Software for New Product Launches
Structure new product introductions around the five APQP phases, keep owners and deliverables visible, and connect launch work directly to AI Generation, AI Assessment, and PPAP Package—so readiness is measured by real quality artifacts, not a disconnected tracker.
Available today: APQP program/project structure, phase deliverables, and links into Generate, Assess, and Package. Interactive Gantt charting and Excel timeline export are on the roadmap (Coming soon).
Key Capabilities
Capabilities marked Available today ship in AIPQP now. Coming soon items are on the roadmap and labeled clearly.
APQP Program Structure
Available todayOrganize launch work by customer, part, and program with the five-phase APQP frame so teams share one source of truth for NPI timing and deliverables.
Phase Deliverables & Ownership
Available todayTrack what each phase needs—documents, assessments, and package evidence—with clear ownership instead of scattered email status.
Launch-to-Document Linkage
Available todayConnect launch deliverables to PFMEAs, Control Plans, Process Flows, and Inspection Plans generated in AI Generation so phase status reflects real artifacts.
Assessment Before Gate
Available todayUse AI Assessment to score document completeness and maturity before you treat a phase or PPAP package as ready.
Interactive Gantt Chart
Coming soonDrag-and-drop Gantt editing with dependency lines and critical-path visibility is planned. Until then, manage launch structure and deliverables in the program workspace.
Excel Timeline Export
Coming soonCustomer-ready Excel exports of full APQP timelines are on the roadmap. Document exports (PDF/DOCX/Excel for generated quality docs) are available today in AI Generation.
Built for quality program teams managing structured product launches
- APQP program managers coordinating new model / NPI launches at Tier 1 suppliers
- Quality engineers responsible for PPAP timing and phase deliverables
- New product introduction teams replacing spreadsheet-only APQP trackers
- Supplier quality engineers watching APQP status across concurrent programs
- IATF 16949 management representatives needing launch conformance evidence
How AI accelerates launch readiness today
- Keeps program context attached when AI generates PFMEAs, Control Plans, and related documents
- Scores launch-critical documents with AI Assessment so gates are based on findings, not gut feel
- Links completed documents into Package so PPAP readiness tracks the same program record
- Surfaces missing deliverables relative to the APQP phase structure you defined
- Reduces re-entry by reusing part and project context across Generate, Assess, and Package
How it works
Step 1
Create the launch program
Define part, customer, and APQP program context in AIPQP.
Step 2
Map phase deliverables
Assign owners and the documents or evidence each phase requires.
Step 3
Generate quality documents
Use AI Generation to build cascaded PFMEA, Control Plan, and related docs.
Step 4
Assess before you gate
Run AI Assessment to catch gaps before treating a phase as complete.
Step 5
Package for PPAP
Assemble validated evidence in Package when the launch is submission-ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does AIPQP include an interactive Gantt chart today?
Not yet. Interactive Gantt editing is Coming soon. Today you structure launches with APQP program/project context, phase deliverables, and connections to generated documents, assessments, and PPAP packaging.
How do I track launch readiness without a Gantt?
Readiness is driven by deliverables: which documents exist, which assessments passed, and what is still missing for Package. That is often more accurate for quality launches than a timeline bar alone.
How does New Product Launch connect to PPAP?
APQP deliverables link into AI Generation documents and the Package module. As documents are completed and assessed, they support the corresponding PPAP package status for the same part and program.
Does this support IATF 16949 new product introduction expectations?
AIPQP is aligned with industry-standard APQP phase thinking and helps you retain linked evidence from planning through documents and PPAP packaging—useful for clause 8.1 / 8.3 style launch evidence. Exact audit outcomes still depend on how your team operates the process.
Can I export timelines to Excel for customers?
Full APQP Gantt/timeline Excel export is Coming soon. You can already export generated quality documents from AI Generation for reviews and submissions.
