Advanced Product Quality Planning is the framework of procedures and techniques used to develop products. Test.

Design Failure Modes & Effects Analysis and Failure Modes, Effects & Criticality Analysis are a step-by-step approach to identify and manage the risk of failure within the product design. This training provides six fundamental steps that will complete the FMEA process and meet the requirements of any industry standard or handbook.

Design Review Based on Failure Modes is a focused approach of mitigating change risk within the product and process design. Based on GD3 principles and includes the introduction of Design Review Based on Test Results.

Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis is a step-by-step approach to identify and manage the risks of failures within the manufacturing and assembly processes. This training includes the primary APQP manufacturing core processes of: Process Flow Diagram (PFD), PFMEA, and Control Plans (PCP).

Production Part Approval Process is a standardized process in the automotive and aerospace industries that helps manufacturers and suppliers communicate and approve production designs and processes before, during, and after manufacture.

Design for Manufacturing and Assembly is a combination of two methodologies; Design for Manufacture, which means the design for ease of manufacture of the parts that will form a product, and Design for Assembly, which means the design of the product for ease of assembly.

Lean Six Sigma – A structured and disciplined approach to making fact-based decisions that cover the DMAIC phases: Define; Measure; Analyze; Improve; and Control.

Design of experiments (DOE) – provides a systematic method to determine the relationship between factors affecting a process and the output of that process. 

Reliability Engineering describes a focused approach to complete Reliability Engineering methods and how they will benefit your organization

Functional Safety describes how to implement a vehicle level functional safety program, create a HARA, and understand the interactions within the product development process.

Measurement System Analysis is an experimental and mathematical method of determining how much the variation within the measurement process contributes to overall process variability within the parameters of bias, linearity, stability, repeatability and reproducibility.

Statistical Process Control is a scientific visual method used to monitor, control and improve processes by eliminating special cause variation from manufacturing, service and financial processes.

Fault Tree Analysis is a systematic, deductive (top-down), graphical methodology for defining a single specific undesirable event and determining all possible reasons (failures) that could cause that event to occur.

Machine Failure Modes and Effects Analysis is a methodical approach for identifying all possible equipment failures in a manufacturing or assembly process.

Root Cause Analysis – 8D is a methodical problem-solving process that covers the three common stages of correction:
⦁ Act rapidly to define immediate containment action to protect the customer.
⦁ Find and fix the root cause with a permanent corrective action on all current products.
⦁ Prevent the recurrence of the problem in the future.

QSB will provide a summary of how to assess shop floor manufacturing systems. Training will include control of nonconforming products, error proofing verification, layered process audits and supply chain management.

Poka-yoke is a technique for avoiding simple human error in the workplace. Also known as mistake-proofing, goof-proofing, and fail-safe work methods. Poka-yoke is applied based on the results of the PFMEA and will determine actions to prevent inadvertent errors made by workers performing a process.
