We are finally going to start using the control plan-fmea system. Previously I (as quality) had generated them with little to no help/feedback internally for customers who had requested them. Ie, for their amusement/requirements, not as a tool for standardization and consistency. Now that we have management buy in what are some of the best ways to produce these as real tools for improvement?

Assemble a team and do what? Are there some practices in a group setting that can knock these out quickly and yet produce a viable system of generating cp/fmea's?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I guess you might already be meeting(partially or so) the objective of FMEA and Control plan in different names, unless otherwise firefighting at the cost of missing out verification, validation and monitoring upfront is an order of the day. Essentially, it is important for the Top Management and the team to understand that FMEA/Control Plan is not an out of the box activity and is only a more structured and improved way of doing what is already existing, if at all.
In any case, I would suggest you to start with training to understand the purpose and methodology. Since this is a team activity as you know, you may have to identify a good facilitator as well with adequate tool knowledge and Meeting Management skills.
