Process implementation of Facilities planning

Discuss with management / Plant Head and get the approval for enhancing the facilities. Organize for acquiring the facilities / equipment through head of department Purchase.

Get the new facilities installed or modifications in existing facilities from External / Internal Sources as applicable and mentioned in Project Report.

Prepare List of Machines / Equipment required for new product development / modification in existing product through advance product quality planning documentation considering the existing plant lay out facilities / equipment and machinery.

Where the source of non-conformity occurrence has been identified through failure mode effect analysis / Capability studies on similar existing products, decide the controls to be exercised in order to meet the required results and update Control Plans based on the new installations / modification in machines / equipment.
