KPIs you are measured on

Gage R&R

Share of observed variation consumed by the measurement system (repeatability + reproducibility).

Formula %GRR = σ(measurement) ÷ σ(total) × 100

Top pains and how to handle them

Too many open CAPAs

Prioritise by risk, close weak ones by merging, and require an effectiveness check before closure.

Root cause stops at 'operator error'

Ask why the process allowed the error; look for missing error-proofing or unclear standards.

PFMEA written once for the audit

Update it after every escape, change or new failure mode found in RCA.
