I have never heard of the term 'FOD', but it can definitely be
proceduralized. We have taken those steps to proceduralize division wide
items such as handling procedures for specific surface finishes, employee
quality responsibilities, empty chemical container handling, etc... We have
also gone the extra distance in our department to write a departmental
manufacturing practices procedure. This procedure includes instructions for
items such as safety agenda's, product handling guidelines, inspection
tools, tooling configurations, inspection guidelines, tooling changes,
HOUSEKEEPING, parameter editing, etc... Auditors are most pleased when they
see a clean facility governed by procedures!

A company I worked at once had a piece of equipment returned from the field,
failed in flight.
During our investigation we found a piece of ham from a sandwich inside the
unit, causing the failure.
About that time we implemented a policy of no eating or drinking at your
workstation.

I went through FOD questions a couple years ago with Boeing. I asked the guy
if they had ever found anything with our product. The answer was no. No more
questions.

Yeah Jason...'member the Chiefs barking at us during FOD walkdown; "Hands
out of your pockets! Eyes down on the deck!!!"
I thought that the Navy was the last time I would hear that. But, we just
got asked about our FOD control procedures during a recent audit by Bell
Helicopter/Textron. We addressed it here by showing them our emphasis to
5-S, and our standing "Take the last 30-minutes of your shift to clean your
area." That seemed to satisfy them...but they did say it would be nice if
we had a "formal" procedure...

Man, I haven't heard that term since my USN days.

Good day Technet:
I'm looking for a training video for FOD (foreign object debris, or foreign
object damage) prevention, specifically for electronics manufacturing.
Any
recommendations?
