AIAG FMEA Manual Request

Hello, and good morning! I want to start off by saying wonderful job on these forums! I have been lurking for a while, and have found lots of useful information for my company.

I am hoping someone out there can help point me in the right direction, and that I don't get tracked down and beaten to a pulp for this request. ;)

We are a small manufacturing company, and I was hired as their first QE. My main job was to achieve ISO 9001:2008 certification, and recently we were audited and ISO 9001:2008 certified. Now we are starting to work our way into PPAP and I have been looking around the web for a free version of the AIAG FMEA manual, and maybe the PPAP manual. It doesn't have to be the latest and greatest edition, just something to refer to. I have done PFMEA in the past, but never had any formal training. I will be doing my first DFMEA very soon, and I have found some great resources here to help me get started.

Since we are a small company (barely 30 people) our president does not feel very happy about paying ~$130 each for these manuals at this time. Does anyone have a .pdf of a version of either of these that they can share? I have found several ISO standards ASTM specs online for free, and I have been searching a little bit for the AIAG manuals but I have not had very good luck this morning.

:thanks:

Thank you for your reply, I was not trying to get into trouble with my first ever post here. I am sorry to go against the rules.

I managed to find a Ford FMEA handbook from a couple of years ago online, and I am hoping that will help. Perhaps I can prove the usefulness of the document and persuade him to OK the purchase of the latest AIAG manuals.

No trouble at all, we are just extremely cautious and we obey all copyright rules and regulations here.

Be careful downloading from file-sharing sites. ;)

Let us know how we can help you further.

I would buy the AIAG APQP manual first.
The PPAP manual just tells you which APQP documents to copy and send with the PSW, Product Submission Warrant.
There are many good sources on the internet to learn about FMEA's, Control Plans, PPAP, etc. that are not copyrighted.

The Ford FMEA Handbook is copyrighted and should not be on the internet. But all of the items discussed in the handbook are well explained by other authors who do not have copyrighted material on the internet.

Please pass the following along to your president. The concepts of APQP, FMEA, QFD, Control Plans, DVP, process capability, MSA, SPC (and many more) are not "things" to be done, but are strategies for success and understanding (Deming's profound knowledge philosophy).

Adamsjm, thanks for the suggestion on which manual to look into first. I know that as our company grows we will need to bring more of these concepts into play and it will be a learning experience for all of us. At least I will have the smallest learning curve since I have some experience with most of these things. The problem I will face is learning the details so that I can effectively justify why concepts such as SPC and PPAP must be done and ensure that we carry everything out properly.

About copyright: we have an internal procedure for the FMEA. We copied the ranking tables that are in the AIAG FMEA manual into a spreadsheet to facilitare the users when updating the PFMEA. Also some definitions or explanations into our internal procedure are taken (cut & paste) from the manual
Is this an infringment of the copyright?
Thanks

If you are using them internally I don't see a copyright issue.

I agree, for internal use only there should not be an issue but if you are concerned you can add a note at the end of your procedure stating portions of the definitions and explanations came directly from the AIAG manual or a footnote directly within the procedure with a works cited at the end.
