FT Technologies commits to adopt the principles of the APQP4Wind framework, for new product development for wind turbine control applications. Where appropriate and feasible it is FT’s policy to:
- Understand the needs and expectations of the customer and ensure products satisfy customer requirements
- Reduce product complexity
- Continuously improve alignment to the principles of Advanced Product Quality Planning
- Provide clear communication of Product Quality Requirements to suppliers and sub suppliers
- Reduce the risk of defects and the costs of quality when introducing new designs and components
- Promote a preventative approach within quality assurance
- Shift from quality control to quality performance
- Support standardisation and simplification of processes to reduce time to develop products and improve efficiencies in the product lifecycle management
All Managers shall provide, implement, train and communicate lower-level Management System documentation and core tools as required to ensure successful implementation of this policy.
This APQP4Wind policy applies across the business.

– Dr Savvas Kapartis
