In this eLearning course, learn the skills needed to implement the APQP process, develop control plans and complete the production part approval process smoothly, efficiently and effectively. Realism is enhanced as the participant develops flow charts, process instructions and control plans for a case study product and carries them through the PPAP submission process.

This eLearning course is designed to establish the use of FMEAs and to help you learn the skills needed to practice risk reduction and defect prevention. Through this online course you will foster an understanding of the specific components of Design and Process FMEAs; utilize the FMEA to avoid Murphy's Law; relate the FMEA to APQP; and gain the needed skills to practice risk reduction and defect prevention. E-learning modules use case studies and interactive questionnaires to simulate a hands-on approach.

Examine methods for implementing and applying the principles of statistical process control to manufacturing processes. This eLearning course will show the linkage of SPC and the Measurement Studies with IATF 16949 requirements and FMEA and PPAP and offer methods for the use of SPC tools and application of software for the calculation of Control Limits and Measurement Studies. E-learning modules use case studies and interactive questionnaires to simulate a hands-on approach.

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a staple in the automotive world, and it is used to describe how the industry would like you to engage in a process of product development.  This eLearning will cover several high level topics that include:    A history of APQP and its place in the IATF and Core tools structure so that you know where the tool of APQP fits in the larger picture.   The structure of APQP including important concepts so that you know how the tool is structured.  A review of gateways and their application in the APQP process so you know how to structure your own company specific guides   A high-level discussion on the benefits of APQP so you can talk the language of management and explain to your organization what the tool can do for them.

If you are looking to increase your manufacturing knowledge and learn a tool utilized across several industries this is the perfect eLearning to familiarize you with the language and techniques used in your everyday activities.  This training will cover:   The role of Control plan in the Core tool's structure to increase confidence that you know what the tool is trying to accomplish.  Explain the structure of the Control Plan including important concepts so that you know how the tool is structured and how it communicates up and down the manufacturing system.   A review of best practices to help you begin to craft your own control plans using proven tips and tricks that lead to a higher quality output.   A simple review of benefits to assist you in communicating the "WHY" to your organization.  So, if you have 30 minutes, and a need to understand Control plan this eLearning is a perfect first step to start your journey.

The Introduction to US Motor Vehicle Safety Training eLearning was developed in partnership with FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda North America, Toyota Motor North America and Volvo Truck Group to share NHTSA's basic supplier expectations when a product recall is required. The course provides an overview of NHTSA's recall requirements in a self-paced eLearning that takes approximately 60 minutes to complete. A certificate of completion is issued after completing the eLearning's quiz.

The purpose of this eLearning course is to provide the participant with the tools to perform various MSA applications within their organizations. The course is presented in several, self-contained modules to effectively drive the principles of MSA while enabling the participant to immediately tie the principles to their applications. The course allows for the organization to use their data, through application exercises to incorporate the concepts into actual outcomes. The course will present the methods necessary to analyze outcome data and to make decisions and recommendations based on the data. E-learning modules use case studies and interactive questionnaires to simulate a hands-on approach.
