- ACCELERATED LIFE TESTING
- Verification of the machine and equipment design relationship much sooner than usual. Intended especially for new technology, design changes, and ongoing development.
- ADVANCED STATISTICAL METHODS
- More sophisticated and less widely applicable techniques of statistical process analysis and control than included in basic statistical methods. This can include more advanced control chart techniques, regression analysis, design of experiments, and advanced problem-solving techniques.
- ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (ANOVA)
- Statistical method to evaluate the data from a designed experiment.
- APPEARANCE ITEMS
- Parts designated on engineering drawings as requiring approval for appearance characteristics including color, grain, texture, etc.

- AQM
- Advanced Quality Management - Overall quality management, starting at the design of the product/process and continuing through the manufacture and shipment of the product to the customer.
- AQP
- Advanced Quality Planning. AQP is a structured method for defining and executing the actions necessary to ensure a product that satisfies the customer. AQP is an integrated, structured team approach required of all system, subsystem, and component design, process, and service. It is optimized through:
-
open communication
-
team synergy
-
team consensus
See also APQP.

- ATTRIBUTE DATA
- Qualitative data that can be counted for recording and analysis. Examples include characteristics such as the presence of a required label, the installation of all required fasteners, and the absence of errors on an expense report.
