Manufacturing Process Development using PFMEA and Control Plans

The event titled Manufacturing Process Development using PFMEA and Control Plans is a comprehensive two-day training program designed to enhance participants' understanding and capabilities in Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA). This online event focuses on the practical application of concepts crucial for planning and developing manufacturing systems and processes, particularly in preparation for product launches and the management of continual improvement.Participants will engage in a hands-on learning experience that covers the entire spectrum of the manufacturing process—from planning and defining the program to process and product validation leading up to launch. The training encompasses universally applicable approaches to manufacturing process development, emphasizing the interconnections between Flow Diagrams, PFMEA, and Control Plans. Throughout the course, attendees will learn to effectively complete all items in the PFMEA process, construct Process Flow Diagrams, and identify special characteristics in manufacturing process design. Additionally, they will prioritize continual improvements using severity ratings to ensure process reliability and quality.The program is structured into several chapters, starting with an introduction to APQP and PFMEA, including its phases, purpose, objectives, and its link to Design FMEA (DFMEA). Participants will engage in breakout exercises that reinforce their learning, such as creating Process Flow Diagrams and developing a PFMEA form, which includes identifying potential failure modes and their causes. Further on, the course covers the development of Control Plans, with practical exercises designed to solidify participants' understanding and abilities in creating effective quality management tools. This training is specifically tailored for Manufacturing/Process Engineers, Production personnel, Product Design/Development Engineers, Quality Managers, Quality Engineers, Program Managers, Project Team Leaders, and other APQP team members. Each participant will receive a seminar manual and a workbook that includes all team breakout exercises to facilitate learning and application of the concepts discussed. This event is an excellent opportunity for professionals seeking to bolster their skills in manufacturing process development and ensure high-quality outcomes in their organizations.
