Failure Modes & Effects Analysis for Manufacturing Processes (PFMEA)

1-Day Training Session (Demonstration PFMEA)

2-Day Workshop (Actual PFMEA Practice)

 

 

Who Should Attend

Anyone involved in planning, design, or implementation of a system, product, or manufacturing process.

 

Purpose of the Training

This training program provides the skills and knowledge needed to understand how things can go wrong in product designs--and how to plan and act to reduce the likelihood of negative consequences. During this training, you will:

 

·    Discover how to gain insight and understanding about your system, product, or manufacturing process that can directly improve customer satisfaction and repeat purchase behavior

·    Find out how you can minimize the impact of “things gone wrong”

·    Develop an actual FMEA on a common product to directly apply skills and concepts presented

·    See how standard forms can guide the FMEA process

 

What You Will Learn

·  How PFMEA and Control Plans are linked—and why this is a critical issue

·  How to deduce failure effects—and why effects, modes, and causes are often confused

·  How to understand the “chains” of verification and validation within TS-16949

·  How to avoid misunderstanding about cause and effect relationships using simple techniques

·  How DFMEA Robustness tools help determine the scope of PFMEA studies

·  Why prevention controls are more important than detection controls

·  Why function is the fundamental driver of world-class PFMEA studies

·  Why mistake-proofing is an essential element of world-class PFMEA studies

·  How to generate a comprehensive statement of function using process flow charts

·  How to quantitatively assess risk in manufacturing activities—and address this risk

·  How to use characteristics matrices to understand process function

·  Why Critical and Significant Characteristics and Parameters require special attention

·  How failure mode is related to function, and why many FMEA studies fail to make this clear

·  How to avoid common pitfalls and errors in conducting PFMEA studies
