What Is An FMEA?
– Opportunity to Defeat Murphy’s Law
– Focus on Prevention
– Failure Mode And Effects Analysis is
• An assessment of Risk
– Safety
– Regulatory
– Customer Satisfaction
– Program
• Coordinated/Documented team effort
– To determine what can go wrong
• A method to determine the need and priority of
actions

FMEA Deployment
– A layered approach is highly recommended as
FMEAs can get complex.
– FMEAs are like ONIONS/LAYERS.
• Each layer is closer to the root cause
• Each layer is more detailed
• The closer to core the more detail
– Core gets to the root cause
– Do too many and you will cry.

Design Verification (Current Design Controls)
– Think of Design Control in two ways; Prevention
and Detection. List them separately.
– To save time, add any new (untried)
prevention/detection ideas to the document
under Recommended Actions column.
• Prevention is specifically related to reduction or
elimination of a cause.
• Detection is how well the test or series of tests may
find the design flaw

Re-rating RPN After Actions Have Occurred
– Severity typically stays the same.
– Occurrence is the primary item to reduce / focus
on.
– Detection is reduced only as a last resort.
– Do not plan to REDUCE RPN with detection
actions!!!
• 100% inspection is only 80% effective!
• Reducing RPN with detection does not eliminate
failure mode, or reduce probability of causes
• Detection of 10 is not bad if occurrence is 1
35
FMEA in a continuous flow process
• Steel Making example:
– Design FMEA was performed on a Crankshaft to
determine the best material for the product being
considered. This was a critical application.
– Key features such as Geometry, Strength, Duty
Cycle, were described to the Steel producer.
36
– The key product requirements were mapped
against the required customer features. E.g.
chemistry and microstructure, Internal stress at
ingot level,
– Product Grade and requirements documents
created.
– Key characteristics mapped against processes
– Process FMEA was performed on processes that
affected customer wants based on priority.

Summary
– FMEA can be used creatively in continuous
processing.
– Linking key customer requirements to process
outputs instead of standard product grade is
valuable.
– Future customer requirements will drive new and

    – The keyproduct requirements were mapped against the required customer features.
