EDP&C/CM Engr Doc Processes and Control
Seminar
3 days
(can be shortened if preceeded by an assesment)
By: Frank Watts BSME, CCDM
This course focuses on the processes/work flow. The seminar
follows a product (electronic ignition, front-end loader) through
the Release, BOM, Request for Change and the associated processes.
Several exercises are included aimed at establishing an optimum
work flow. Other excercises and questions asked to encourage
participation. Emphasis on subjects you choose.
