    APQP Ballooning ControlPlan SPC

    The document discusses an integrated approach to ballooning drawings, creating control plans, and setting up statistical process control (SPC) using various software tools. Key points: 1) Infra Convert software can add balloons to drawings in common formats and export a list of characteristics to a prf file for automatic import into measurement software like Calypso CMM. 2) A control plan is created based on the FMEA to define measurement requirements. Characteristics can be imported from the prf file and assigned to specific process steps. 3) The characteristics are then entered into a SPC module like DataLyzer Spectrum. Default values streamline entry of additional fields. This integrated approach saves time

    Integrated APQP: Ballooning Control Plan - SPC

    By Marc Schaeffers

    Integrated APQP: Ballooning , Control Plan, SPC


    INTRODUCTION
    During APQP critical characteristics are established in the control plan. These characteristics
    are measured on a CMM (for example during fist article inspection) and during production (for
    example during regular SPC checks).
    The process to register all characteristics can be very time consuming. They are established
    during the design process, then they need to be entered in the CMM program, in the control
    plan and in the SPC program. A time consuming step for suppliers is often that they need to
    balloon the drawing from the customer as well.
    This document shows how this can be done efficiently.
    BALLOONING
    When the drawing is in dwg, dxf, igs or pdf format the ballooning can be done with the Infra
    Convert software.
    When the ballooning is activated the balloons are added to the drawing and the list of
    characteristics is also available.

    Figure 1: Example dwg drawing with balloons

    In addition to the balloons the full list of characteristics can be exported to a prf file.

    Figure 2: Example prf file


    The list is also available in a format so it can be automatically imported in for example the
    Calypso CMM software.
    The next step in the process is to create the control plan to establish what needs to be
    measured during the different APQP stages.
    CONTROL PLAN
    The control plan will be created based on the FMEA. It contains the steps defined by the FMEA.

    Figure 3: Example Control Plan

    When importing characteristics from the prf file we need to be add the characteristics to the
    appropriate machine/device/jig/tool field. When possible we also need to add the content of the
    other fields in the control plan which are not available in the prf file.
    We can establish this by first importing the prf file into an internal table.

    Figure 4: Import table to assign characteristics to process steps


    When the prf file is imported into the table, the data is converted so it will fit in the control plan
    format. The table also offers the option to select a default set for the additional fields. For
    example often a fixed subgroupsize is used for all characteristics. That information can be
    added in a default set. Another example if you want to refer to a standard Out of control action
    plan for this product then you can add this entry as a default for the field reaction plan.
    When the default is set you select the characteristics per process step/machine field and press
    ok.
    Then the characteristics are added to the specific process step and the list is updated. You can
    select the following step and select the appropriate characteristics for that step

    Figure 5: Assigning characteristics to steps/machine


    The process continues until all relevant characteristics are added to the process step.
    SPC
    In the next step the characteristics can be entered in the DataLyzer Spectrum SPC module.
    In the same way as described above we get an internal table and we can add a default set for
    remaining fields. Depending on the SPC configuration different default options can be used.
    The control chart setup screen is then automatically entered with the required information

    Figure 6: SPC Chart setup from the Control Plan screen


    The SPC system can be used for regular SPC checks but also for First Article inspection or
    importing from the CMM.
    Conclusion
    By using the integrated solution Ballooning Control Plan SPC in combination with import
    capabilities from the CMM machine a lot of time can be saved setting up all requirements while
    in the mean time offering an advanced solution to control your process.
