The manufacturing processes control is a very important activity in all companies. As this should be developed by a multidisciplinary team, it will affect all the product manufacturing process. So, it is very important that its implementation will be planned in order to be effective. If the correct methodology is used on the right time, it will be possible to prevent the majority of the potential problems and improve the manufacturing processes. The purpose of this article is to suggest a framework to control properly the processes in the automotive industry, using the right approach – FMEA- to identify the gaps in a early phase of the product and process development, and prevent these gaps to occurr during normal production.
