Learning Objectives

• Explain the benefits and general framework of FMEA as a risk analysis tool
• Relate Process FMEAs to APQP and IATF 16949:2016
• Define FMEA customers
• Identify functions, potential failure modes and effects
• Determine potential causes
• Identify current prevention and detection process controls
• Identify improvement opportunities to reduce the risk of failure
• Utilize information gathered from performing an FMEA and construct a Control Plan
• Connect the Process Flow, Process FMEAs, Control Plans and Work Instructions
• Relate Control Plans and risk-based thinking
• Describe the type of information that should be entered in each control plan column
• Use the dominant factor analysis of each manufacturing process to determine the most appropriate process control methodology
• Ensure Control Plans consistency with other quality planning methodologies
• Review and update Control Plans as living documents
• Develop Control Plans for your manufacturing processes

Who Should Attend
