Automotive Quality Core Tools
Eagle Group® courses
Eagle Group® Core Tools Group – a 3-day course dedicated to Automotive Quality Core Tools. First, it provides a comprehensive and concentrated learning experience, allowing participants to focus on quality core tools like APQP, FMEA, PPAP, SPC, and MSA . This intensive format ensures that attendees gain a strong understanding of these important tools in a relatively short period. Secondly, the class encourages collaboration and knowledge sharing among automotive quality professionals, creating a valuable networking opportunity. Finally, it equips participants with the skills and knowledge needed to enhance product quality, reduce defects, and streamline processes, contributing to improved efficiency and customer satisfaction within the automotive industry.
Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)
This course offers a structured approach employed in the automotive industry, and increasingly in other sectors, to ensure the highest standards of quality in product development. It encompasses a systematic framework for defining and refining the necessary steps to design, validate, and manufacture products that meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements. APQP involves cross-functional collaboration among various departments, including engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and quality assurance, to identify potential risks, establish clear objectives, and develop robust processes.
Control Plan (CP)
Quality assurance, engineering, and other process personnel responsible for preparing control plans will profit from this course. Control Plans summarize the identified process and product parameters required to maintain product conformity. These tools are applicable throughout the supply base in all customer/supplier relationships.
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Managers, supervisors, quality professionals, facilitators, product and process design engineers and maintenance will gain from this process analysis tool. Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a design, a manufacturing or assembly process, or a product or service.
Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA)
This course is intended for all persons who are responsible for a manufacturing or a business process. The course provides instruction on what MSA is and how to apply MSA to any process for evaluation and continual improvement. The result is knowledge that can be used to improve your measurement process and in turn improving product quality.
Process Flowcharting (PF)
Anyone who could be assigned to creating and analyzing process flowcharts will benefit from this course.
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
This course is designed for quality assurance, engineering, and other process personnel responsible for preparing/submitting PPAP files. The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) handbook is an industry standard that outlines the process to demonstrate engineering design and product specifications are met by the supplier’s manufacturing process.
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
This course is intended for all persons who are responsible for a manufacturing or a business process. The course provides instruction on what SPC is and how to apply SPC to any process for evaluation and continual improvement.
8D Team Oriented Problem Solving
Individuals who manage, lead, or participate in problem-solving teams, corrective and preventive action activities, or are responsible to customers for customer complaint issues will gain from this course.
