Topics: Quality, Safety & Maintenance
In the Aerospace Industry there is a focus on Defect Prevention to ensure that quality goals are met. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and Control Plan activities are recognized as being one of the most effective, on the journey to Zero Defects.
This two-day course is designed to explain the core tools of Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), Process Flow Diagrams, Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and Control Plans as described in AS13100 and RM13004. It will show the links to other quality tools such as Characteristics Matrix and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA). The course will include hands on examples of FMEA deployment in a variety of typical manufacturing environments (including processing, machining and assembly) to illustrate how the technique is to be deployed. It will also describe the use of Reference Process FMEAs that can be used to minimize the duplication and reduce the time taken to produce an effective PFMEA whilst maintaining the required rigor.
By attending this seminar, you will be able to:
This course is designed for quality professionals in the aerospace engine manufacturing sector who seek compliance with AS13100 requirements in defect prevention specific to customer escapes. Both new and experienced quality practitioners should be trained in the PFMEA tools.
Participants should consider taking other courses in the SAE quality portfolio to support their competency with AS13100 tools. These courses include:
You must complete all course contact hours and successfully pass the learning assessment to obtain CEUs.
