Effective Core Tools - Risk-based Process Control
Several of the best known quality methods have been around for a long time. Statistical Process Control The SPC was developed in the 1930s. Error effect analysis FMEA has been around for more than 60 years. Ford developed the concept of control plans in the mid-1970s and the measurement system analysis of the MSA became known in the 1980s with Six Sigma. These four methods together with “Structured Product Development – APQP” and “Process Approval – PPAP” were merged in the 1990s and became “Core Tools” in connection with the production of the management systems QS 9000 and ISO / TS 16949.
With the (relatively speaking) new approaches “Risk management” and PDCA in ISO 9001 and IATF 16949: 2016, we have now developed a new concept “Effective Core Tools – ECT” which means that you better understand the meaning of design of good control plans (Control Plans) and how their content can be based on risk management in an efficient and effective manner.

Trainings
You will learn how to use the knowledge gained through work with APQP and FMEA to develop and dimension content in control plans. Then you will learn how to use the MSA in the right way for the process / product properties that require special control and ultimately control the processes and process properties that need special control because of the risks previously identified.
The training is based on four modules:
- Project management, risk analysis and Process-FMEA (2 days)
- Preparation of control plans (1 day)
- Measurement System Analysis (1 day)
- SPC (1 day)
Participation can be done in each module individually, but the greatest effect is obtained when participating in all four modules. The price for all modules is currently SEK 22,500, and a discount is given according to the quotation for participation in only certain modules.
