AS13004 PFMEA Risk Management Training

Days: 2

 7:30 AM- 4:30 PM MST

 

Overview

When a single failure can ground a fleet or compromise safety, aerospace manufacturers must get risk management right the first time. AS13004 offers a proven, structured approach to identifying and controlling process risks before they result in costly nonconformities, escapes, or customer dissatisfaction.

This focused, two-day AS13004 PFMEA Risk Management Training equips aerospace professionals with the tools and methods needed to identify, assess, and mitigate risk throughout the production process. This course directly supports compliance with AS9100, AS9120, and AS13004 by focusing on the practical application of PFMEA and Control Plan development as key elements of a proactive risk management strategy.

Led by instructors with deep industry experience, this course covers:

  • The four-step risk management process outlined in ISO 31000.
  • How ISO 9001 and AS9100 define and expect Risk-Based Thinking.
  • Use of aerospace-specific tools: Process Flow Diagrams, PFMEAs, and Control Plans.
  • How to quantify and prioritize risk for more effective decision-making.
  • Applying AS13004 methodology to meet Operational Risk Management requirements.

Through case studies, interactive exercises, and detailed walkthroughs, participants will gain hands-on experience developing PFMEAs and Control Plans that reduce variability, improve product safety, and strengthen compliance across the aerospace supply chain.

What You Will Learn  

  • How to address Risk-Based Thinking requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 (per ISO 31000).
  • How to address the Operational Risk Management requirements of AS9100 (per AS13004).
  • Tools used for Risk Assessment such as DFMEA, Process Flow Diagrams, PFMEAs and Control Plans.
  • How risk management can be applied to any organization, regardless of its products or customers.
  • A means for demonstrating to customers and stakeholders the potential risks associated with products or processes and provide assurance that these have been effectively managed.
  • How to quantify risk as the first step in establishing priorities for your organization.
  • Methods for controlling risks within your Supply Chain.
