ATQT 1050 - Quality Standards & Core Tools

Credit Hours: 2.00


Prerequisites: None

This course covers the most commonly used quality standards and guidelines used in Automotive Industry Tier One and Tier Two manufacturing: IS09001, ISO TS16949, and the supporting AIAG “Core Tools” of: Advanced Product Quality Planning & Control Plans (APQP), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Measurement System Analysis (MSA), Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Statistical Process Control (SPC). These standards are also applicable to most other manufacturing processes and companies. Class work addresses the intent and application of the standards and reference manuals. This course intended for students needing an introduction to quality standards, and for non-Quality Assurance associates who are internal auditors and need the required Technical Standard and related Core Tool training.

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to describe the requirements and guidelines of the ISO9001and the automotive ISO‐TS16949 standards.

Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  1. Identify the appropriate standard for each circumstance or business.
  2. Identify the organization issuing the standard or guideline.
  3. Implement and/or apply the standard or guideline
  4. Explain the requirements, tools, skills, and metrics to document compliance to the standard or guideline.

Outcome 2: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to apply the requirements of the standards to a manufacturing related situation.

Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  1. Perform Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) activities.
  2. Perform a DFMEA.
  3. Perform a PFMEA.
  4. Complete a Process Flow Diagram.
  5. Complete a Control Plan.

Outcome 3: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to perform the requirement of and document compliance to the standards.

Objectives:

  1. Apply the required and appropriate statistical process controls to a manufacturing situation.
  2. Recognize, define, and quantify measurement system variation.
  3. Perform a capability analysis and recognize if a process is statistically capable.

Outcome 4: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to describe the requirements of the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP).

Objectives:

  1. Compile the required components of a PPAP package.
  2. Construct a “balloon” part drawing.
  3. Compile a Dimensional Inspection Report.

Outcome 5: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to explain the relationship between the different requirements and how they relate to the Internal Auditing process.

Objectives:

  1. Describe compliance to the Core Tools relating to “audit trail” during an internal audit.
  2. Audit for compliance to the standards and to the Core Tool requirements.
