Master the natural flow of information that delivers Reliable Processes and Products.

Below is a Roadmap to gain access and complete the training.

Step One:

Please enter organization or individual learner information in the form and click Submit to create an account.

After initial registration, learners will receive an email that provides important information (registration emails should be saved). The registration email will contain user ids, temporary passwords, and the link to access the training portal. The email will also provide information on record retention and access to training history.

Already have an account? Click the Existing Users tab.

If a learner has trouble signing in, select Forgot your password? In the training portal and the system will send an email to the email on file with a link to update password and login credentials. Specific questions regarding sign-in or other technical issues can be addressed through the Contact Page on the training portal.

Step Two:

Once an organization or individual learner account is created, the system will ask for payment and an email address to send the purchase receipt. The system will also add the training into the organization or individual Learning Management System account. (Note: please check spam if purchase receipt cannot be found in inbox.)

Any questions or concerns regarding purchase of the training or access to the training material? Learners should go to the Contact Page and send a message to be contacted by a ReliaTrain representative.

Step Three:

Learners should print the course outline (and other “handouts”) to understand the approximate length of each module and establish a plan to complete the training. The training is broken down into mini-sessions so learners can take the training at their own pace.

It is recommended that learners find a location that is free of distractions and allows them to study the outline and handouts. It is also recommended that learners take notes on the printed materials as they go through the modules.

Step Four:

Once the learner has the templates, formats, and examples downloaded and reviewed, it is time to start with the learning path.  Learners should review the courseware instructions and open the first training session.

Learners will take the training modules in sequential order. The system allows learners to exit the system and resume at a later time.

Note: Learners must complete the training in order. The software will not allow access to a module unless all the previous modules have been completed.

Step Five:

Learners will complete quizzes at the end of each training module. The quizzes are intended to test the learner’s understanding of each process step and the overall process. A minimum overall score of 80% is required to pass the training. It is possible to get a passing score of 80% even if a learner didn’t achieve 80% on one or more of the quizzes. If a learner fails the training, the learner may request the ability to retake one or more of the quizzes. However, the learner must complete all of the quizzes prior to requesting to retake an individual quiz.

Step Six:

ReliaTrain provides learners an opportunity to give feedback on the course via a survey. The survey will offer the opportunity to provide feedback on the following items:  ease of access to training material, quality of audio of training, quality of video, quality of training pace, and ability to use the training after completion. 

Step Seven:

If a learner passes the training, he or she will be prompted to print a Certificate of Completion.

DFMEA TRAINING PROGRAM

5 Proven Steps to Benefit from Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA).

Meet Industry Standards and Eliminate Debates, While Meeting Design Requirements and customer expectations.

Just imagine a company culture that is focused on meeting quality and reliability objectives based on customer expectations.  A company that supports engineers by ensuring all time spent doing analysis is directly related to developing a design that meets requirements and customer expectations.  A company that makes product decisions based on engineering knowledge and engineering confidence in their design.  A company that is sought after based on market dominance in product quality and reliability.

5 Proven Steps to Meet Industry Standards and Eliminate Debates, While Meeting Design Requirements.

APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) Process is a structured method that defines and establishes steps necessary to ensure products meet requirements.  DFMEA is one of the required deliverables within the APQP process.  This training program is intended to provide an introduction and foundation of the Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis methodology for anyone who is interested in implementing part or all of the methodology.

This DFMEA training program is intended for Automotive and Non-Automotive Applications.  The course comprehends the industry best practices and organizes them into a disciplined and logical 5 Step DFMEA Process. The 5 Step DFMEA Process includes: Planning, Preparation, Engineering Analysis, Design Reviews, and Closure of Actions.  Each of the process steps comprehends the needs of the engineer.  Every detailed step defined in this course is something every engineer will normally do when completing their design – PLUS bonus examples of the DFMEA recommended documentation are provided!

This course is intended for management and engineers in areas of: design, manufacturing, assembly, quality, service, packaging, material handling, supplier quality, maintenance, and reliability.  This is a foundation training module and does not have required prerequisite training or experience.

This course is intended to provide training of process knowledge and techniques. At the end of this course you should be able to:

• Define the relationship of DFMEA within Systems Engineering
• Define the roles of both management and engineers within the DFMEA Process
• List the different steps of the DFMEA process (per the ReliaTrain 5 Step Process Map)
• List the inputs and outputs of each of the 5 steps within the DFMEA process
• Describe how the Boundary Diagram and the Bill of Material is connected
• Describe how functions and requirements are used within the DFMEA process
• Describe the difference types of failure modes
• Describe the difference between a failure mode and effects of failure
• Define the connection between a cause and an engineering product decision
• Use DFMEA to help identify and address product special characteristics
• Define the difference between prevention and detection controls
• Describe when design actions should be taken
• Define the relationship between DFMEA and PFMEA
• Use the DFMEA process as a tool in an engineer’s daily activity

Prerequisites

This is a foundation training module and does not have required prerequisite training or experience.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed to support the roles of management, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, reliability, supplier quality, service, maintenance, validation, packaging, materials and aftermarket engineering.  If you are affected by an engineering technical decision, this course is for you.  Understanding the course content will improve launch effectiveness and product quality and reliability.
