Problems Identified
- Bad order of operations on PFMEA results in expensive internal equipment modifications.
Role
Manufacturing Engineer
Summary
- Ford role not that interesting. - Tesla manufacturing engineers focus on NPI. - Process development engineer will handle step preparation, equipment validation, quality validation, and hitting KPIs (cycle time, yield, availability). Then pass to production engineering. - PFMEA documents will take 20 hours of time. - Late PFMEA requirements that vendor refuses to handle are the most painful thing. Triggers expensive and understaffed internal process for updating equipment.
