SPC (Statistical Process Control): Utilizes statistical methods to monitor and control processes, ensuring they operate within defined parameters and produce consistent and high-quality results. 

PPAP (Production Part Approval Process): Ensures that suppliers' production processes are capable of consistently producing parts that meet the specified requirements and validates the supplier's ability to meet production demands. 

MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis): Evaluates the effectiveness and reliability of measurement systems used in the manufacturing process to ensure accurate and consistent measurement of product characteristics.

New APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning): A structured process for developing new products or processes in the automotive industry to ensure that customer requirements are met and potential risks are identified and mitigated + APQP Control Plan 1st edition

These standards collectively contribute to a comprehensive quality management system in the automotive industry, helping to enhance product quality, reduce defects, and ensure consistency in manufacturing processes. Manufacturers and suppliers often follow these standards to meet customer expectations, comply with industry regulations, and improve overall efficiency and quality.
