Linking the Process Flow Diagram, FMEA
and Control Plan
One
of the most common problem areas in quality audits are inconsistencies
between FMEAs and Control Plans. It is easy to start working on a
change in one document, get interrupted and forget to change the other.
Even if your documents agree in detail, it is difficult to accomplish
this manually in Microsoft Excel.
Header, Process and Characteristic information is integrated within a
project and automatically flows to the Process Flow
Diagram, FMEA
, Control Plan and Check sheet. If any of this information is changed
within AutoDCP, the change is automatically made to all affected
documents within the project.
AutoDCP Also Links Projects
AutoDCP also includes linking of projects or selected operations from
projects into one overall composite project. This is useful for
combining purchased parts, different components or generic operations
with part specific information. These types of composite projects are
automatically updated when the underlying data changes.
