Training Tomorrow's Quality Professionals

摘要

After working for a cable manufacturer for a few years, I've learned that there are more than 100 failure modes that can occur at an extruder head, which is one small part of a much larger process. When my team encountered scratches on a cable, our new process failure mode and effects analyses (PFMEA) showed that there are more than 600 possible causes for a potential straight-line scratch. And with a line running at 800 meters per minute, it is nearly impossible to see the scratches happening in process.
