  • Efficient FMEA development using proven methods, tools and process

 

History of FMEA

FMEA was first used in the 1960’s by NASA in the Aerospace industry during the Apollo missions
In 1974. The Navy developed MIL-STD-1629 to be used along with FMEA
In the late 1970’s, the automotive industry later joined to develop FMEA variations.

MIL-STD-1629A, MILITARY STANDARD: PROCEDURES FOR PERFORMING A FAILURE MODE, EFFECTS, AND CRITICALITY ANALYSIS (24 NOV 1980)

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) serves as a valuable tool and method for preventing failure in product and process design.

Learn how FMEA can be planned planned along with product development to mitigate risks and increase the acceptable level of product or process. FMEA is considered as a reliability planning tool and a method for prioritizing alternative actions.

Failure Mode refers to the manner in which the product/part or service does not meet the stakeholder or customer’s expectations. While Effects Analysis is the  study of the effects of failure on the function or purpose of the product/part or service.

FMEA Training course shows you how to recognize and evaluate the potential failure modes and causes associated with the designing and manufacturing of a product.
Learn how to identify actions tha can eliminate or reduce the chance of the potential failure occurring.

DFMEA and PFMEA are the two most common form of FMEA:

  • Design FMEA DFMEA allows you to maximize system quality and reliability and minimize design-based failure effects on the system
    Process FMEA PFMEA  allows you to maximize system quality, reliability, and productivity at the same time minimize production process failure effects on the system
  • PFMEA allows you to minimize variation around the design specification
  • DFMEA and PFMEA are used to discover failures as early in product development
  • Risk is the main substitute for failure in product and process development.

An FMEA id

entifies the ways in which a product or process can fail. FMEA also estimates  the risk associated with specific causes and it prioritizes the actions that should be taken to reduce risk.

FMEA Procedure Step by Step

For each process input (start with high value inputs), determine the ways in which the input can go wrong (failure mode)

  • For each failure mode, determine effects
  • Select a severity level for each effect
  • Identify potential causes of each failure mode
  • Select an occurrence level for each cause
  • List current controls for each cause
  • Select a detection level for each cause
  • Calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN)
  • Develop recommended actions, assign responsible persons, and take actions
  • Give priority to high RPNs
  • MUST look at severities rated a 10
  • Assign the predicted severity, occurrence, and detection levels and compare RPNs
  • Severity, Occurrence, and Detection Severity
  • Importance of the effect on customer requirements
  • Occurrence
  • Frequency with which a given cause occurs and
    creates failure modes (obtain from past data if possible)
  • Detection
  • The ability of the current control scheme to detect
    (then prevent) a given cause (may be difficult to estimate early in process operations).
  • Rating Scales
  • There are a wide variety of scoring “anchors”, both quantitative or qualitative
  • Two types of scales are 1-5 or 1-10
  • The 1-5 scale makes it easier for the teams to decide on scores
  • The 1-10 scale may allow for better precision in estimates and a wide variation in scores (most common)
  • Severity
  • 1 = Not Severe, 10 = Very Severe
  • Occurrence
  • 1 = Not Likely, 10 = Very Likely
  • Detection
  • 1 = Easy to Detect, 10 = Not easy to Detect
  • Risk Priority Number (RPN)
  • RPN is the product of the severity, occurrence, and detection scores.
