Maintain the PPAP "golden thread" between drawing requirements, risks, controls and validation evidence

Identify and manage Special Characteristics (SC) and Critical Characteristics (CC)

Conduct and interpret Variable Gauge R&R studies

Understand Attribute GR&R and categorical inspection systems such as GO/NO-GO inspection

Interpret repeatability, reproducibility, %GR&R, ndc, agreement, Kappa, false accepts and false rejects

Perform and interpret process capability studies using Cp and Cpk

Requirements to a PPAP submission

Understand checking aids, master samples, sample production parts and AAR requirements

Determine when Bulk Material
Requirements are applicable

Complete and review a Part Submission Warrant (PSW)

Audit a PPAP package for cross-document inconsistencies before customer submission

Use a populated Excel PPAP workbook as a practical reference for real manufacturing applications
Requirements

No previous PPAP experience is required

Basic knowledge of manufacturing or quality is helpful but not essential

Microsoft Excel or compatible spreadsheet software is recommended for working through the supplied PPAP template

An interest in general quality, supplier quality, manufacturing engineering or quality management
Description
Master the three connected documents at the heart of manufacturing process control
A Process Flow Diagram, PFMEA and Control Plan should never be treated as three independent documents created simply to satisfy a PPAP checklist.
They should tell
one consistent manufacturing story.
This practical course teaches you how to create, review and connect these three essential quality tools
Process Flow Diagram → PFMEA → Control Plan
Using a realistic
ADC12 aluminium water-pump housing, we follow the manufacturing process from incoming material through casting, machining, inspection, leak testing and final release.
Rather than simply explaining what goes into each form, the course focuses on the engineering logic connecting them.
Build a Process Flow Diagram
You will learn how to map the complete manufacturing sequence, including

Incoming material

Receiving inspection

Storage

Die casting

Trimming and deburring

Machining

Drilling and tapping

Cleaning

Dimensional inspection

Leak testing

Final inspection

Packaging and release
You will also learn why inspection, transportation, storage, rework and outsourced operations should not simply disappear from the process map.
The Process Flow Diagram establishes the manufacturing architecture for the risk analysis that follows.
Develop a practical PFMEA
Once the process is understood, we ask
What could go wrong?
You will learn how to develop a Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis covering

Process functions
Requirements

Potential failure modes

Effects of failure

Severity

Potential causes

Occurrence

Prevention controls

Detection controls

Detection ratings

Risk Priority Number (RPN)

Recommended actions

Responsibility

Target dates

Revised risk
You will also learn an important principle
PFMEA is not simply an exercise in calculating RPN.
A low RPN does not automatically mean a risk should be ignored, particularly where severity or customer impact is significant.
Understand Severity, Occurrence and Detection
Using practical manufacturing examples, you will learn how to interpret
Severity - How serious would the effect be?
Occurrence - How likely is the cause to occur?
Detection - How likely are existing controls to detect the problem before escape?
For traditional RPN-based PFMEA
RPN = Severity x Occurrence x Detection
But the course goes beyond the mathematics and teaches students how to use engineering judgement when prioritising risk.
Convert PFMEA risk into effective controls
The next question is
What are we actually going to control in production?
This is where the Control Plan becomes critical.
You will learn how to define

Process characteristics

Product characteristics

Special Characteristics

Specifications and tolerances

Measurement equipment

Control methods

Sample sizes

Inspection frequencies

SPC requirements

Reaction plans

Responsibility
Build the golden thread
A major focus of this course is document alignment.
If the PFMEA identifies
main bore tool wear as a significant manufacturing risk, the Control Plan should contain an appropriate control for that characteristic.
If a characteristic is designated
SC on the engineering drawing, students should be able to trace it through
Drawing → Process Flow → PFMEA → Control Plan
If the documents tell different stories, the PPAP is weak regardless of how attractive the individual forms look.
Develop meaningful reaction plans
Students will also learn why
"Inform supervisor"
is usually not an adequate reaction plan.
A useful reaction plan may need to address
STOP → CONTAIN → SEGREGATE → INVESTIGATE → CORRECT → VERIFY → RELEASE
By the end of the course, students should be able to create and challenge Process Flow Diagrams, PFMEAs and Control Plans as an
integrated manufacturing risk-management system.
