Course: AIAG & VDA Process FMEA: Transitioning for Practitioners

Code: A3

​

Training description: This course will assist you in transitioning from the AIAG FMEA 4th Edition to the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook. Learn to execute Process FMEA according the new handbook by achieving a deeper understanding of the explicit and subtle changes, along with high impact benefits that will bring your organization’s PFMEA to the next level of process design robustness. By the end of this training you will be able to describe, analyze, exemplify and apply the improvements in the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook. Additionally, you will gain the skills necessary to evaluate the consistency of PFMEA application, measure its effectiveness and efficiency within your organization, and develop a Transition Implementation Plan from the AIAG FMEA 4th Edition methodology to the 7-Step approach recommended by the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook.

Training course outline:

• Risk management and IATF 16949: brief overview of risk-based thinking principles according to the automotive standard and application examples about the process design. Summary of the IATF 16949 clauses linked to the application of FMEA methodology

• The main improvements introduced by the new AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook. Detailed introduction aimed to highlight the foundations for the development of a robust FMEA

• The 7-Steps approach: a more instrumental, and error-proofing driven method to develop FMEAs while integrating lessons learned

• PFMEA 1st Step – Planning and Preparation

• PFMEA 2nd Step – Structure Analysis

• PFMEA 3rd Step – Function Analysis

• PFMEA 4th Step – Failure Analysis

• PFMEA 5th Step – Risk Analysis

• PFMEA 6th Step – Optimization

• PFMEA 7th Step – Communication

• Linkages between Design FMEA and Process FMEA

• Comparing a PFMEA prepared using AIAG FMEA 4th Edition Manual to a PFMEA prepared using the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook

• PFMEA effectiveness, efficiency, and linkage to the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ)

• Transition Implementation Plan from AIAG FMEA 4th Edition to AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook
