4.7.Phase 2
Design for manufacturing and assembly:
PRODUCTMANUFACTURING
ASSEMBLY
4.7.Phase 2
The activities of phase 1 have to lead to this that the design result fulfils the design defaults
4.7.Phase 2
Design defaults(requirement specification,
inputs phase 1)
Design result(CAD, drawing,
specification etc.)
4.7.Phase 2
Regularly Design Reviews:Meetings in order to determine if the given plan isobserved:
• Consider design/function• Reliability and confidence targets• Components, sub-systems and systems• Computer simulations, Benchmark• DFMEA• Checking of producibility and assembly • DOE methods• Test errors
4.7.Phase 2
“Control plans are written descriptions of systems which serve for this to dominate parts and processes.“
It differs in:
•Prototype – A description of dimensional measurements, material and performance tests which are carried out during prototype phase.•Pre-series – A description of dimensional measurements, material and performance tests which are carried out after prototype phase but before series. •Series – A comprehensive documentation of product/process features, process control inspections and measuring systems which are carried out during mass production.
4.7.Phase 2
Manufacturing of the prototype has to lead to this that…
• the product fulfils the specification resp. provides required data.
• specific product and process features have been considered.
• data and information are used in order to define preliminary process parameters and packaging standards.
• all doubts, deviations and influences are reported to the customer.
4.7.Phase 2
Preparation of engineering drawing
•Legal demands•Safety features•Determination of features for „fit & function“•Tolerated dimensions•Documented inspection of the drawing
4.7.Phase 2
Preparation of engineering drawing
Test equipment available for all features?Dimensions producible?CAD data compatible to customer?
4.7.Phase 2
Preparation of technical specifications(can be included in engineering drawing!)
Functional requirementsReliability requirementsFeatures dependent on appearance
(Kind of inspection, volume, frequentness and carrying out are defined in standards, specifications, test instructions and control plans, etc.)
4.7.Phase 2
Preparation of material specification(can be included in engineering drawing!)
Have to be tested with reference to:Specific featuresPhysical characteristicsPerformanceEnvironment (disposal)HandlingStocking (conservation)
4.7.Phase 2
New equipment, tools and facilities
Tools = Formative means of productionEquipment = Constructive auxiliary means of productionFacility = New areas, assembly line and plant extensions
•Include into schedule•Tools and equipment have to be process-capable•Delivered and provided in time
4.7.Phase 2
Discussion which specific features are determined(basis is the preliminary determination of phase 1)
•Find accordance (involve customers)•Consult attachment C of QS 9000 (determinations of features)•Include into control plan•Consider customer release procedure•Consider documentation requirements•Use auxiliary means APQP forms
4.7.Phase 2
Determination of requirements on all test equipment and teachings.
=> include into schedule and monitoring!
4.7.Phase 2
Team doability declaration:The APQP team confirms in writing that thesuggested design…1. can be manufactured2. can be assembled (if claimed) 3. can be verified positively 4. can be packaged5. can be delivered... in satisfying quality and quantity as well as
according to given costs.

Packaging standars are given by customer and have to be worked into the own QM-system.
Packaging specifications are developed by supplier and have to be worked into the own QM-system. Thereby it has to be considered how far packaging has effect on product quality (drop test, conservation, etc.)
4.8.Phase 3
Inspection of QM-system
•Inspection and practice of any modifications into the QM-manual•Involvement of process and work instructions•Regeneration of necessary documents and forms
4.8.Phase 3
Matrix of features
Appropriation of features (product and process)to a process.
•The more product features are influenced by a process the more important is the control on this process!
4.8.Phase 3
Process FMEA:“Methodical analysis of all possible potential errors of all processes, their effect and importance on the customer as
wellas planning and operating of activities for risk reduction.“
Basis:Process flow plan
4.8.Phase 3
Differences to series control plan:
• Higher frequented inspections• More in-process and final inspections• Statistical analyses• Stronger audits (product and process)
Comment: With pre-series SAMPLES are meant.
4.8.Phase 3
Information at machines:• Name of process (relevant to process flow chart) • Name of part and number• Revision status• Tools, equipment and test equipment information• Material and disposal instructions• Demands on specific features• SPC requirements• Necessary norms / standards• Inspection and test instructions• Reaction plans• Visual auxiliary means• Tool change intervals and facility instructions
4.8.Phase 3
A measuring process contains diversifications
Every ascertained measured value consists of •every real value and•measurement error.
Measurement error is caused by•diversification influences of measuring equipment and•diversification influences of the inspector or the measuring method.
Measurement error consists ofa systematic error and a random error.

4.8.Phase 4
All in control plan listed measuring equipment is taken a inspection of capability of measuring equipment according to method MSA of QS 9000.Only test equipment for fabrication is allowed to put in which does not exceed demonstrably a maximum R&R value of 30%.

4.8.Phase 4
DEFINITION:
“A comprehensive documentation of product/process features, process control inspections and measuringsystems which are carried out during mass production.“
4.8.Phase 4
DEFINITION:
The quality planning team should ensure that all process flows and control plans are realised. It is recommended to carry out and document the “sign off“ in the production plant.
4.8.Phase 4
The „Sign off“ should enclose the following points:
1. Control plans should exist and be available at any time at locations which need these for realisation of contents.
2. It should be checked that all process instructions considered the specified specific features which are mentioned in the control plan. Recommendations of process FMEA should have been realised.
3. With special test equipment or in control plan mentioned test equipment, a successful inspection of capability of test equipment should be present.
