Process Decision Program Chart
Planning tool that anticipates what might go wrong in a plan and identifies preventive or contingency actions.
Examples
- 01Before moving the press line, the team uses a PDPC to plan what could go wrong, such as a late crane, and prepares a backup for each.
- 02The PDPC is reviewed with the crane company and the electricians, and every contingency has an owner before the move plan is approved.
- 03After the move, the team checks which PDPC risks actually happened and whether the prepared backups worked, and updates the template for the next relocation.
