FMEA AND CONTROL PLAN

Training/Seminar
Seminar Content
This seminar offers an insight to the linkages between various aspects of the
APQP process. Specifically, the development and linkage of process flows
and control plans are addressed. It shows how Process Flows, Control Plans
and shop floor documentation can be used to achieve process
standardization and improvement

AIAG's FMEA 4th Edition:

The Chrysler, Ford and GM's Supplier Requirements Task Force has just
released the long anticipated, and occasionally dreaded, new edition of
the Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) Reference Manual.
The new edition has been anticipated since many users have lamented
that the existing manual only dealt with "filling out the form" and did not
provide adequate direction on the whole FMEA process and its
relationship to other APQP activities and information. Many individuals
are concerned that the new manual will increase their workload by
changing and adding to the requirements they already have.
Why FMEA Fourth Edition?

FMEA is a process not a document

Previous version focused primarily on the completion of the FMEA
form and not on the knowledge contained therein
Management is an integral part of this process
Minimize or eliminate column shifting
Placing information in the wrong columns thus hindering the analysis
and product / process improvement efforts
Minimize or eliminate sole reliance on the RPN in the evaluation of
risk priorities and improvement actions
Practice of deflating of the RPN to meet an arbitrary threshold
Lack of understanding of the role of the FMEA process throughout
the APQP phases
Including continual improvement during production; i.e., looking at
the FMEA as a static document necessary only for PPAP approval
