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.

Wed 22 Apr 2026 - Thu 23 Apr 2026

08:30 AM BST - 04:30 PM BST (2 days)

This course covers the training syllabus requirements of AS13100 and AESQ Reference Manual RM13000 8D Problem Solving.

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.

Thu 23 Apr 2026

08:30 AM BST - 04:30 PM BST (1 day)

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.

Mon 27 Apr 2026 - Tue 28 Apr 2026

08:30 AM BST - 04:30 PM BST (2 days)

FMEA is an analytical method to ensure potential problems have been considered, assessed for risk, and actioned as part of product and process design. It provides a record of an organisation's collective knowledge about its products and processes. The intent of the control plan is to document and provide value added controls in support of the PFMEA process. Implementation of an effective DFMEA, PFMEA and control plan form key foundation activities in support of the zero-defect goal.

Wed 29 Apr 2026 - Thu 30 Apr 2026

08:30 AM BST - 04:30 PM BST (2 days)

MSA is used when an understanding of measurement system variability is required. MSA studies will decompose measurement system variability into equipment, operator and part variation. It is often mandated by aerospace and other engineering primary manufacturers as a specific requirement on their suppliers to give them confidence in the measurements that are being taken and reported by the supplier.

Wed 13 May 2026 - Thu 14 May 2026

08:30 AM BST - 04:30 PM BST (2 days)
