FOD (Foreign Object Damage/Debris) Control Procedure

I need to generate a basic FOD control procedure for our AS9100 accreditation. It just needs to be basic, i.e. metal chips, dust, dirt, food, etc. Most examples I have found are way too detailed for our applications. I would appreciate any examples!

the simple approach is good. A basic good handling practices based on your product with a clause for anything critical that may come up eleveated to the CAR system. Most times you get away with cleaning steps on the router and good housekeeping practices (5 S maybe?)..the real meat of FOD is aimed at flight hardware. We design FOD control into the product and process...ie specific risks are identified on the print and router. Our proceudre is a FOD manual./ handbook not a procedure...except we have a FOD report form that is used for out of the ordinary instances that come up...drives CA.

hopes this helps.

I don't know if this will help, but we are a small manufacturing company and had to implement an FOD program ourselves. We decided on the following approach:
1. Monthly FOD internal auditing with CAR generation when necessary
2. Weekly FOD housekeeping assignments per department with signoff sheets that are logged and maintained in control of records for one year
3. Posting "FOD Area" signs in critical departments
4. Listing FOD hazards per area in each department
5. Company wide training on FOD.

We just had both a doc review audit and a large Aerospace client audit, and both commented on how great the program was! Hope this helps!:D

I also work at a VERY compact/small manufacturing machine shop. We were just audited for AS9100 and received a N/C for having soda cans in our shop/QC area. There really isn't any guidelines to food and beverages specifically in the standard. Our company is so small that most of the guys eat at their benches during break/lunch. Also drink coffee and soda during the day. Do I limit them to only the lunch room? Do I take away what they only have left to enjoy? Do I say only closed containers only? Do I say only at the computer and not at the machine?
What do you all think?

We solved this by saying "closed, or lidded" containers stored "under" or "below" work areas. However, no food allowed in work areas. This worked for us when we were audited on FOD.
