Looking for information on Ford 5 Phase

[D.Scott]

I would appreciate forms, instructions or whatever on this program. I think it is part of a corrective action process. Sorry I can't be more specific but it was sprung on me and I have no other information.

Thanks

Dave, I have checked the ford website and found no reference to "5 phase". Nor is it mentioned in the Q1 requirements. Could it be they are talking about 5S? That is a requirement of Q!.
Also, Ford has revised their planning requirements for the 2004 model year, but nothing is printed about a "5 phase".

This was an inquiry from one of our remote facilities so I don't have too much info. I told our plant to see if they were really looking for a 5 why. I haven't officially heard if it is resolved but I sure would if it hadn't been.

I will check into 5S as it is quite possible that is what it was.

Thanks for the help.

Dave

Hi, about 5 S, into Q1 requirements mentions 5 s, and for corrective actions, Ford normally requires Global 8 D

Dear Sam , perhaps they are referring to Ford's 8D? The "5 -Phase" is GM's format for supplier corrective action- a truncated 8D format that has a more severe focus on containment actions and verification of corrective action....I've heard a lot of people use the term "5-Phase ' interchangeably with 8D , espoecially by people who work with both formats... guess "5-Phase sounds cooler"!!

That is the online ppap from Ford. You can find it on the FPN

If you have access to Covisint, go to the Ford training site. They have a video and ppt presentation of the FORD 4 Phase PPAP system complete with forms required to comply.
