This 5-day Core Tools Certification Training covers APQP, Control Plan, FMEA, SPC, MSA and PPAP using a "learn by doing" approach. Short teach points are followed by practical case studies and exercises. Delegates who pass the knowledge and application exam receive Core Tools Certification. We are one of the few programmes in the UK to offer this level of accreditation, and the only provider to offer Core Tools Certification underwritten by the UK IATF Oversight Office.
APQP and Control Plan is module one of the Core Tools Certification Training programme. This module can be completed as a standalone course or as part of the full Core Tools Certification Training.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, (FMEA), is an analytical method to ensure potential problems have been considered, assessed for risk and actioned as part of both product and process design. It provides a record of an organisations collective knowledge about products and processes. It is widely used in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and mobile power generation. This course is based on the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook.
Statistical Process Control, (SPC), is a method for gaining an understanding of the types of variation within a process and hence guide actions to either control or reduce this variation. It is used in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and mobile power generation.
Measurement System Analysis, (MSA), is a method for gaining an understanding of the variation present in measuring systems. It is now widely used in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and mobile power generation, when a high level of confidence is required for the measurement of product characteristics.
Production Part Approval Process, (PPAP), is a method of demonstrating a product or process is production ready. The method was developed by the North American Automotive Industry and is now widely used in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and mobile power generation.
How robust is your PFMEA? The Reverse FMEA process aims to identify and validate all potential failure modes and the controls in either a Process FMEA or a Machinery FMEA. It focuses initially on critical processes first (complaints, high risk) but can be expanded to cover all process steps. This leads to a better understanding of new projects, major changes, poka-yoke and mistake proofing devices. It also attempts to purposefully generate new defects and challenge existing understanding.
The joint publication is the collaboration between AIAG/VDA, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. The text has been completely rewritten and the FMEA method has been revised in a few key areas.
AIAG & VDA Combined Process FMEA: Transitioning for Practitioners is designed to take delegates through the 7 Step Approach to the construction, scoring and evaluation of risk (high, medium, low) and explain how to fully implement the new AIAG/VDA approach.
AIAG & VDA Design FMEA: Transitioning for Practitioners is designed to take delegates through the 7 Step Approach to the construction, scoring and evaluation of risk (high, medium, low) and explain how to fully implement the new AIAG/VDA approach
This course is part of the "IATF 16949 Auditing Programme" which is a collection of courses made up of 'bite-sized' online modules aimed at anyone looking to gain a greater understanding and awareness of IATF Auditing.
The Core Tools Fundamentals e-course focuses on the Core Tools which are the foundation of most automotive manufacturers and supplier’s quality management systems.
Consistently IATF highlights Problem Solving as the most common nonconformity. There are plenty of steps your organisation can take to enhance its problem-solving capabilities and in an IATF 16949-compliant manner.
The 8 Disciplines (8D) Problem Solving methodology is a globally recognised, structured approach to identifying, correcting, and preventing recurring problems. Originating in the automotive sector and now widely used across multiple industries, 8D is a powerful tool for quality improvement and root cause analysis.
SMMT Quality Management helps major global manufacturers understand, optimise and improve both manufacturing capability and business performance. Over 250 organisations in 30 countries trust SMMT Quality Management to deliver and maintain sustainable improvement.
