Engineers often move into assignments such as Quality Engineer, Quality Manager, Project Quality Leader, etc. as they progress on their career path. While the typical engineer may understand portions of the quality management system in their organization, they may not have had the opportunity to learn what is involved in an effective approach to quality planning for the customer and the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process. Learning these systematic approaches for quality planning can enhance your value to the organization./p>
