Core Tools Training in Chennai, 2 or 5 Days

Core tools training: all six tools, in the order a launch uses them.

Most teams learn the core tools one at a time, and never see how they connect. In a real launch, the FMEA feeds the control plan, the control plan names the gauges and charts, and PPAP is the evidence that all of it works. This course follows that order, so the links are clear.

2 days (awareness) or 5 days (practitioner)

English and Tamil

Is this for you?

Your team knows each core tool by name, but the FMEA, control plan, MSA and SPC don't talk to each other.
New engineers need the whole picture quickly.
A customer or auditor has raised findings on more than one core tool.

Who should attend

Quality, process and product engineers, launch team members and supervisors. The awareness course also suits managers who need to know what to ask for.

The order of the topics

APQP: the launch plan, and where PPAP fits at the end
FMEA: design first, then process
Control plan: built from the process FMEA
MSA: can we trust the gauges named in the control plan?
SPC: is the process stable and capable?
PPAP: the evidence, put together from the week's work

What participants practise

Each tool on one sample part, so the output of one tool becomes the input of the next
A printed worksheet for each tool, filled in during the exercises
The free SPC, MSA and FMEA simulators, to see a process, a gauge and a failure chain behave

Choose the format

Format	For	What it covers
Awareness (2 days)	Everyone in the launch team, managers	Day 1: APQP, FMEA, control plan. Day 2: MSA, SPC, PPAP
Practitioner (5 days)	Engineers	All six tools in the same order, with hands-on exercises for each

Each day is about 8 hours, with lunch and two tea breaks. Reviewing your own FMEA and control plan on your floor is a full review, done as consulting: see the FMEA & Control Plan Review.

What changes afterwards

Your team sees the core tools as one chain, not six separate files: a change in the FMEA shows up in the control plan, the gauges and the charts.

Questions people ask

Which references do you follow?

The AIAG APQP, PPAP, Control Plan, MSA and SPC manuals and the AIAG-VDA FMEA handbook, plus your customers' specific requirements. Please use licensed copies; Kattamaipu is independent and not affiliated with AIAG or VDA.

Can we take just one tool?

Yes. Each tool is also a course of its own: see the SPC, MSA, FMEA, control plan and APQP and PPAP pages.
