AIAG/VDA Process FMEA – Workshop

2 day Syllabus

Comprehensive (AIAG/VDA Process FMEA) Workshop

 

             The design of this two-day on-sight workshop focuses on the Quality Professional, Quality or Business Manager, Quality Technician, or others involved in the activity of developing, improving or managing manufacturing processes.  This course demonstrates the use of Manufacturing Process Documentation, and the application of AIAG/VDA Process FMEA.  Each step of the way the learning experience is supported by appropriate classroom exercises or workshop activities.

            This material may be presented as a one day overview for those that have a strong background in Process FMEA use, application and reporting.

            The Process FMEA activity completed in the correctly and in a comprehensive manner allows the organization to fully perform vital risk analysis of the manufacturing processes.  With the completion of comprehensive risk analysis, the organization can best make value-added decisions about the proper application of limited resources applied to process control, quality control/assurance, operator training, management support, and understanding, etc.

            This workshop when performed on-sight utilizes your personnel working on your manufacturing process.  Applying the process documentation tools of AIAG/VDA Process FMEA (Structure Tree Analysis, Flow Chart and AIAG/VDA PFMEA) – The training also incorporates the new approach of a 7 step application of AIAG/VDA PFMEA.  Addressing each of the seven steps practicing the structural steps in class using exercises or your process data.

            These tools, presented in the proper order, give the organization the understanding, training, confidence, and ability to efficiently approach this complex task.  The organization’s resources come away with the ability to complete this vital work in an efficient and effective manner.
