Sunday Business Systems

Sunday Business Systems Corrective Actions – organized into 5 tabs Use filters to display a limited set of data Yellow fields are required Double click blue to jump to part list

Sunday Business Systems Tab #1: CAR Details - (8D steps 1 & 2)  CAR Type  Internal  External  Customer Complaints  Safety – for OSHA compliance  Internal Audit  Supplier CAR – issued to supplier  Category  User defined functional areas or departments  Status  Automatically set based on the dates entered  Dates  Determine the status of the CAR  Details  (Part #, PO, etc.)  Define the CAR team  Detailed Problem description – clearly define the problem

Sunday Business Systems CAPA Process Flow / Status Process CAR / PAR Status Exceptions Status

Sunday Business Systems Tab #2: Containment  Contain the problem  Take immediate and possibly temporary actions to prevent the problem from happening today  For example, Stop shipping and 100% inspect for the defect  Definition: ECD = Estimated Completion Date or due date Establish containment actions with specific owners

Sunday Business Systems Tab #3: Root Cause Analysis  Determine the Root Cause (s)  Document the 5 Why’s  The problem may have multiple root causes  Primary root cause  Escape Root cause  Contributing root cause  Corrective actions must be aligned to each root cause Document multiple root causes for a single CAR including Primary, Escape, and contributing root causes Ask why?, why?, why?, why?, why? to determine effective corrective actions

Sunday Business Systems Corrective Actions  Record multiple Corrective Actions for each CAR  Management or designate may verify each action to ensure they  Effectively address each root cause  Ensure the problem will not re-occur  Each Action has an  Owner  ECD – Estimated Completion date  First ECD – original ECD (does not change)  Current ECD – may be changed  Status – see corrective Action Life Cycle  Date complete  Comment – used to explain current status  Validation or acceptance criteria  Validation name and date

Sunday Business Systems Tab #4: Corrective Actions and Validation Establish corrective actions with specific owners Establish Validation criteria and document closure

Sunday Business Systems Corrective Action Life Cycle

Sunday Business Systems Verification and Validation  Verification  Documented by approving the corrective action plan  Should require management review and approval  Upon completion, each action must be validated  Validation / Acceptance Criteria  Defines pass / fail criteria  For example: –99% of all parts measure < 15mm –Document XX version 02 released on 4-May-2006 –Training records updated and reviewed  Actual Value  the observed or actual value  Record who validated the action, when, and definitively state that the action was effective (or not)

Risk Management Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Sunday Business Systems Set-up Parameters – Detection Rating

Risk Management FMEA Background Features and Benefits Set-up and Use

Sunday Business Systems History  FMEA: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis  Was one of the first systematic techniques for failure analysis  Developed by reliability engineers in the 1950s to study problems that may arise from military system malfunctions  Further developed and adopted by the aerospace and automotive industries  Today, it is a standard technique for risk analysis and continual improvement

Sunday Business Systems FMEA  An FMEA is often the first step of a system reliability study.  It involves reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify failure modes, and their causes and effects.  FMEA begins during the earliest stages of design and continues throughout the life of the product or service.  You can use the FMEA Tool in two separate, but related ways:  Analyze the current process and evaluate the potential impact of changes under consideration  Track improvement over time

Sunday Business Systems Reduce Risk and Improve Performance  The FMEA is a simple business process:  Anticipate: what can go wrong?  Prioritize actions to  Reduce the severity or impact of an adverse event  Decrease the frequency of an adverse event  Increase the delectability of an adverse event  Complete the actions in a timely fashion  Re-evaluate the process / product / service in light of  New data  Improved processes  New processes

Sunday Business Systems FMEA Process Flow Complete Actions and Re-compute RPN Determine actions to Reduce each RPN Analyze the current controls and determine Detection Rating Identify the Cause and Occurrence Rating Determine the Effects and Severity Rating Identify the failure modes Map the process Assemble the Team Management review and approval Customer Feedback Field Failure Data Yield / Rework Data Process Experience Inspection Results Gauge R&R Inputs

Sunday Business Systems The FMEA Process 1. Assemble a cross-functional team of people with diverse knowledge about the process, product or service and customer needs. 2. Identify the scope of the FMEA.  for Safety, concept, system, design, process, or service? 3. Identify the items: process steps, components, subsystems, parts, assemblies 4. For each item, identify the possible failure modes  What could go wrong? 5. Identify all the consequences or effects of each failure mode 6. Determine the Severity of each failure mode  rate it on a scale of 1-10 where 1 is not severe and 10 is extremely severe 7. Determine all the potential root causes

Sunday Business Systems The FMEA Process 8. For each cause, determine the Occurrence rating  occurrence estimates the probability of the failure occurring  rate it on a scale of 1-10 where 1 is infrequent and 10 is commonplace 9. Identify current process controls for each cause 10. Determine the Detection rating based on the effectiveness of the current process controls  rate it on a scale of 1-10 where 1 is highly detectable and 10 is not detectable 11. Calculate the risk priority number, or RPN  RPN = [Severity] × [Occurrence] × [Detection]  Rank Failure modes according to the estimated risk factor (RPN) 12. Identify actions to lower the severity and occurrence, and / or add controls to improve detection. 13. Actions are assigned to owners, completed, validated and closed 14. Risk factors (Severity, Occurrence, and Detection) are then re-evaluated after remedial action has been completed

Sunday Business Systems Traditional Methods  Paper forms  Excel Spreadsheets  Problems  Difficult to work collaboratively  Difficult to audit  No user based restrictions to protect data integrity  Difficult to manage  No concise reports for actions due  Poor visibility to FMEA effectiveness

Sunday Business Systems SBS FMEA Database Advantages  Easy to use  Collaborative platform  Simple, menu driven user interface  Easy to train users  Convenient, intuitive forms  Can restrict users to control data integrity  Rich set of reports  Easy to identify delinquencies, stalled actions  Reports may be ed with a single click  Export data to Excel for further analysis  Built using Microsoft Access  Common, convenient software platform  Runtime version of Access is available as a free download
