Chapter 10: AQP Documentation and Sign-Off for Feasibility
Final acceptance of the product as being feasible is conducted prior to process review and quality planning sign-off. A final review should be conducted to determine product acceptance and conformance to engineering drawings and specifications, and meeting stipulated P pk indices.
Final manufacturing feasibility indicates that a supplier is ready to deliver a proposed product/process design that can be manufactured, assembled, packaged, and shipped at a level that meets customer needs and expectations. A process review is conducted by the AQP team to confirm that all controls are in place, that the processes are being used and are in control, and that the final product/process meets engineering requirements.
