APQP provides guidance for ensuring customer requirements are met through all stages of new product development and introduction. It is structured into 5 chapters addressing planning, design, process development, validation, and feedback. PPAP addresses getting customer approval of a production part by determining engineering specifications are understood and the manufacturing process can consistently meet requirements. It is also covered in the APQP Chapter 4.
