Definition

•Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a design, a manufacturing or assembly process, or a product or service.

•The purpose of the FMEA is to take actions to eliminate or reduce failures, starting with the highest-priority ones. FMEA also documents current knowledge and actions about the risks of failures, for use in continuous improvement.

Four Important factors to do an FMEA

•Increased Quality Demands from End Users & OEMs

•Continuous Cost Optimization pressure

•High Complexity in Vehicle

•Increased Product Liability Safety, regulatory requirements

To deal with above challenges, FMEA is considered as one of the Technical Risk Reduction method.

Scope of FMEA

Failure mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a team oriented systematic, Qualitative, analytical method intended to

•Evaluate the potential technical risks of failure of a product or process

•Analyze the causes and effects of those failures

•Document preventive and detection actions

•Recommended actions to reduce risk

•Manufacturers consider different types of risk including technical

Risks, financial risks, time risks, and strategy risks. The FMEA is

used for analyzing the technical risks to reduce failures and improve safety in the products and processes

Evolution of FMEA

•1960’s:NASA moon program engineers devised a method of forecasting problems.

•1970’s:Method becomes know as FMEA and is adopted by various quality organizations.

•1980’s:with increased emphasis on quality , method spreads to large corporations.

•1990’s:Large corporations are ,in turn ,pressing suppliers to adopt the method.

•2000’s:Method is being applied elsewhere such as healthcare.

Objective of FMEA

•Identify the functions of product or steps of a process

•Understand potential failure mode associated with product or process steps

•Understand the risk and its actions optimization of prioritization

•Understand the prevention and detection controls adequacy
