FMEA is a systematic technique used to evaluate potential failures in a design, process or service. It was developed in the 1950s by the US Navy to evaluate flight control systems. FMEAs help identify potential failures to design them out of the system early on, reducing costs and development time. The FMEA process involves assembling a team to brainstorm potential failures, analyze their effects and risks, and implement controls to address higher priority risks. Regularly updating the FMEA helps continuously improve quality and reliability.

Tool used to systematically evaluate a product, process, or system Developed in 1950s by US Navy, for use with flight control systems Today its used in several industries, in many applications
products processes equipment software service

Conducted on new or existing products/processes Presentation focuses on FMEA for existing process

Why does it always seem we have plenty of time to fix our problems, but never enough time to prevent the problems by doing it right the first time?

What is FMEA ?
A failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a procedure in product development and operations management for analysis of potential failure modes within a system for classification by the severity and likelihood of the failures

A successful FMEA activity helps a team to identify potential failure modes based on past experience with similar products or processes, enabling the team to design those failures out of the system with the minimum of effort and resource expenditure, thereby reducing development time and costs.

Assemble a team of people familiar with process Brainstorm process/product related defects (Failure Modes) List Effects, Causes, and Current Controls for each failure mode Assign ratings (1-10) for Severity, Occurrence, and Detection for each failure mode

Determine Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each failure mode


Calculated as Severity x Occurrence x Detection

1 is best, 10 is worst

The FMEA is a tool to systematically evaluate a process or product Use this methodology to:

Prioritize which processes/ parameters/ characteristics to work on (Plan) Take action to improve process (Do) Implement controls to verify/validate process (Check) Update FMEA scores, and start focusing on next highest FM or cause (Act Plan)

Timing of FMEA

The FMEA should be updated whenever:


A new cycle begins (new product/process) Changes are made to the operating conditions A change is made in the design New regulations are instituted Customer feedback indicates a problem

Uses of FMEA
Development of system requirements that minimize the likelihood of failures. Development of methods to design and test systems to ensure that the failures have been eliminated. Evaluation of the requirements of the customer to ensure that those do not give rise to potential failures. Identification of certain design characteristics that contribute to failures, and minimize or eliminate those effects. Tracking and managing potential risks in the design. This helps avoid the same failures in future projects. Ensuring that any failure that could occur will not injure the customer or seriously impact a system. To produce world class quality products

Advantages
Improve the quality, reliability and safety of a product/process Improve company image and competitiveness Increase user satisfaction Reduce system development timing and cost Collect information to reduce future failures, capture engineering knowledge Early identification and elimination of potential failure modes Minimize late changes and associated cost Catalyst for teamwork and idea exchange between functions Reduce the possibility of same kind of failure in future Reduce impact of profit margin company Reduce possible scrap in production
