Webinar presentation by Gregory Gruska, member of the AIAG FMEA manual sub-committee

The Chrysler, Ford and GM\'s Supplier Requirements Task Force has just released the
long anticipated, and occasionally dreaded, new edition of the Failure Mode Effects
Analysis (FMEA) Reference Manual. The new edition has been anticipated since many
users have lamented that the existing manual only dealt with \"filling out the form\"
and did not provide adequate direction on the whole FMEA process and its
relationship to other APQP activities and information. Many individuals are
concerned that the new manual will increase their workload by changing and adding to
the requirements they already have.

To prepare you for the new FMEA requirements, Omnex is providing a three-hour
webinar that covers the new 4th Edition Reference manual. This webinar will review
the similarities and differences between the 3rd and 4th Editions of the FMEA
Reference Manuals. The FMEA Process as a risk analysis and knowledge management
approach will also be discussed. A walk-through of the FMEA process, as described in
the 4th Edition manual, will be included. There will also be a valuable Q&A session
conducted after the presentation to clarify any questions you have regarding the new
requirements.

Don\'t be left in the dark when the new requirements become mandatory. Register today
to get up to speed from the comfort of your own office! There will be an opportunity
to purchase a recording of this webinar or just a hardcopy of the presentation
itself if you are unable to attend at the scheduled time.
