The following document templates (tool kits) are provided totally complimentary, free of charge to use as a starting point for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) in IATF. As each business is different, additional documents or revisions would be required to meet your organization’s specific needs, requirements, context, risk profile, etc. If after reading through all of these documents, you feel like you still need a consulting partner to help you develop your new documents – Contact Us. We’re always looking for interesting new clients and projects.

Feasibility Consideration:
CFT has considered the following questions, not intended to be all-inclusive in performing a feasibility evaluation. The drawings and / or specifications provided have been used as a basis for analyzing the ability to meet all specified requirements. All “NO” answers are supported with attached comments identifying comments and / or proposed changes to enable us to meet the specified requirements.
| YES | NO | CONSIDERAION |
| Is product adequately defined (application requirements etc.) to enable feasibility review? | ||
| Can Engineering Specification be met as written? | ||
| Can product be manufactured to tolerances specified on drawing? | ||
| Can Product be manufactured with Cpks’ that meet requirements? | ||
| Is there adequate capacity to make the product? | ||
| Does the design allow the use of efficient materials handling techniques? | ||
| Can the product be manufactured without incurring any unusual : | ||
| Cost for Capital Equipment? | ||
| Cost for Tooling? | ||
| Alternative Manufacturing Methods? | ||
| Is Statistical Process Control required on product? | ||
| Is Statistical Process Control presently used on similar products? | ||
| Where Statistical Process Control is used on similar products : | ||
| Are the processes in control and stable? | ||
| Are Cpk’s greater than 1.33? | ||
CONCLUSION :
| Feasible | Product can be produced as specified with no revisions | |
| Feasible | Changes Recommended (See Attached Comments) | |
| Not Feasible | Design Revision required to produce product with in specified requirements |
