Course Duration: 1 Day - 8 Hours/day

Join Omnex for this important industry approach integrating AIAG and VDA FMEAs. Omnex FMEA experts many who are writers of the FMEA standards have worked extensively with both AIAG and VDA FMEAs formats. They will show you how to manage your existing AIAG or VDA FMEAs and the steps to transition to the AIAG-VDA FMEA approach.

Omnex will share best in class practices to get the most of the AIAG-VDA PFMEA including managing requirements, working with the supply chain, integrating PPMs and also creating a product and process architecture for managing FMEAs. Most of all, get hands on real world experience working with AIAG-VDA PFMEA, Process Flow (Structure Analysis), and Control Plan at our Open Enrollment or at your product onsite.

This 1 day seminar addresses all of the elements of the Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and Control Planning process, and defines it as a process within your organization. It offers insight to the linkages between various aspects of the PFMEA process; specifically, the development and linkage of process flows/structure analysis and control plans. to achieve process standardization and improvement

The training is an introduction and an overview to understanding the seven steps of the AIAG-VDA FMEA process. This course has similar content to the Practitioner course but without the case study. The approaches discussed and employed in this course are consistent with the intent and guidelines in the AIAG-VDA FMEA Handbook (1st edition, 2019) issued by AIAG and VDA, APQP 3rd Edition, Control Plans 1st Edition, and IATF 16949:2016.

Note: Omnex is not a VDA or VDA-QMC licensed training provider.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply the AIAG-VDA Seven Step Approach to developing PFMEA and Control Plans

Note 1: Omnex can offer training in IQFMEA, Plato or AQuA Pro for onsite training.

Note 2: You can add one or two days to develop a PFMEA using your product. It will be best if you have a 4th Edition PFMEA for comparison purposes. This training can include your component suppliers.

Who Should Attend

Those who have direct responsibility for introducing new manufacturing processes and systems would benefit from this seminar. This includes: program/product managers, quality managers, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, APQP team members and others who have direct responsibility for new product development and improvement.

Course Materials

Each participant will receive a seminar manual and a workbook including all team breakout exercises.

Note: Omnex can only provide standards for reference during in-person classes. For virtual classes, the attendee must obtain their own copy.

Note: Omnex does not provide copies of standard(s) during training courses, but clients are encouraged to have their own copy.

Pre-Requisite

No prior knowledge is necessary. However, a mix of students with knowledge of product design & development and/or manufacturing and basic Quality Assurance concepts is preferred.

Background in AIAG FMEA 4th edition or VDA FMEA is good, but not required.
