(SAE: Warendale, PA) -- Project management (PM) and advanced product quality planning (APQP) are two critical techniques used in product development in the mobility industry. This seminar will bring these techniques together in an easy to understand format that goes beyond the typical concept of constructing timelines and project planning, by exploring not only the AIAG APQP process, but also specific aspects of PM processes. Students will gain a solid foundation in the essential principles of PM and APQP.

The seminars will be held:
Oct. 5–6, 2011 (8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) in Troy, Michigan
April 24–25, 2012 (8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) in Detroit, Michigan
July 31–August 1, 2012 (8:30 a.m.– 4:30 p.m.) in Troy, Michigan
Dec. 12–13, 2012 (8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) in Troy, Michigan

Students will immediately apply learned skills by taking a sample project through all phases of the project plan using actual industry documents. Realistic issues, problems, and time constraints are introduced throughout the exercise to stimulate actual project concerns.
