Design Vs. Process FMEA
Design FMEA
• Main focus is on design of the product and specifications which enable
the product to meet the intended use.
Process FMEA
• Main focus is on the manufacturing process which will allow the
product to be made repeatedly to the print design specifications.
• Utilizes process knowledge and historical process data to identify and
help eliminate potential process failure modes.
6
What is the FMEA purpose?
Preventive Tooling
7
When should we generate a FMEA?
There are three basic cases which FMEA’s are generated depending on the
scope and focus:
1st Case: New designs and new technology, or new process.
The FMEA target: the design, technology, or complete processes.
2nd Case: Design modifications, or process modifications.
The FMEA scope should be the design changing, or process changing with
focus on possible interactions due to modifications and field occurrences, as
well as past lessons learned.
8
When should we generate a FMEA?
3rd Case: The use of a design or a process which already exists in a new
environment, new location, or new application.
The FMEA scope is the impact in this new environment, or how the new
location could interfere in the design, or even in an existing process.
The FMEA is a dynamic document and it should always reflect the most
updated level, as well as the most recent relevant actions, including those
occurred after the start of regular production.

Lessons Learned
• 25% of our Spills were driven by change
-Process
-Product
-New Model Year Launches
-Tool Moves
In your teams come up with a situation and example of the following terms, to
explain them to some one who has never herd of PFMEA
Failure Mode >> The reason something did not work as required
Effect >> What you would notice or experience because of the failure

Process FMEA – Purposes
• Identify and evaluate potential product and process-related failure modes, and
the effects of the potential failures on the process and customers.
13
Process FMEA - Development
• It should be initiated before or at the feasibility stage, and immediately after the product
design.
• It should take into account all manufacturing operations from individual components to
assemblies.
• It should include all processes within the plant that can impact the manufacturing and
assembly operations, such as shipping, receiving, transporting of material, storage,
conveyors or labeling.
• The PFMEA starts with a list from which it is expected from the process, the process
target.
• It should be initiated by the manufacturing flow, and it should identify the product
and/or process characteristics related to each operation.

IMPORTANCE OF FLOW DIAGRAMS
• The initial flow diagram is generally considered a high level process map. It needs more
detailed analysis to identify the potential failure modes.

What is the definition of each field in the PFMEA?
Requirements: are the inputs to the process specified to meet design intent
and other customer requirements.
• If there are multiple requirements with respect to a given function, each
should be aligned on the form with the respective associated failure modes
in order to facilitate the analysis.
Potential Failure Mode: the manner in which the process could potentially
fail to meet the process requirements (including the design intent).
Ex.: Weld porosity.
• List the potential failure mode(s) for the particular operation in terms of the
process requirement(s) (e.g., as documented in the process flow diagram.)
Assume that the failure could occur but may not necessarily occur.
32
What is the definition of each field in the PFMEA?
• Potential failure modes should be described in technical terms, not as a symptom noticeable by
the customer.
33
What is the definition of each field in the PFMEA?
• If the requirements have been well defined, then the potential failure mode is
readily identifiable by determining the condition when a specific requirement is not
met.
• Each requirement may have multiple failure modes, so a large number of failure
modes identified for a single requirement usually indicates that the requirement is
not well defined.
34
What is the definition of each field in the PFMEA?
Potential Effect of Failure: Potential effects of failure are defined as the effects
of the failure mode as perceived by the customer(s).
• The customer(s) in this context is not the final user only, could be the next
operation, subsequent operations or locations, the dealer, and/or the vehicle
owner.
• The product effects in the PFMEA should be consistent with those in the
corresponding DFMEA.
• For the End User, the effects should be stated in terms of product or system
performance. If the customer is the next operation or subsequent operation(s) /
location(s), the effects should be stated in terms of process / operation
performance.
35
What is the definition of each field in the PFMEA?
• In order to determine the Potential Effect(s), the following questions should be
asked:
36

3. What would happen if an effect was detected prior to reaching the End
User?

What is the definition of each field in the PFMEA?
Severity:
• Severity is the value associated with the most serious effect for a given
failure mode.
• The team should agree on evaluation criteria and a ranking system and
apply them consistently, even if modified for individual process
analysis. As a common language, it is strongly recommended to use the
severity ranking as specified on AIAG FMEA manual.
40

41

42
Classification:
• This column may be used to highlight high priority failure modes or causes
that may require additional engineering assessment.
• This column may also be used to classify any special product or process
characteristics (e.g., critical, key, major, significant) for components,
subsystems, or systems that may require additional process controls.
43
Potential Cause(s) of Failure(s) Mode:
• There may be one or more causes that can result in the failure mode being
analyzed.
44
Occurrence:
45
Global Purchasing and Supply Chain
46
Current Process Control:
• Current Process Controls are descriptions of the controls that can either
prevent to the extent possible, the cause of failure from occurring or detect
the failure mode or cause of failure should it occur.
47
Global Purchasing and Supply Chain
48
Detection:
• Detection is the rank associated with the best detection control listed in the
Detection Controls column (Lowest ranking).
49
Global Purchasing and Supply Chain
50
Risk Priority Number (RPN):
• Within the scope of the individual FMEA, this value can range between 1 and
1000.
• Applying thresholds assumes that RPNs are a measure of relative risk (which
they often are not) and that continuous improvement is not required (which it
is).
51
• For example, if the customer applied an arbitrary threshold of 100 to the
following, the supplier would be required to take action on the characteristic B
with the RPN of 112.
52
Global Purchasing and Supply Chain
53
Recommended Action(s):
To Reduce Severity (S) Ranking: Only a design or process revision can bring
about a reduction in the severity ranking.
54
• As a common practice when the severity index is 9, or 10, a special attention must be
done to assure the risks accosted by actions, current design controls, or corrective
actions are independent on the RPN.
• In overall terms when an identified potential failure effect could be dangerous to the
assemble/manufacturing people, preventive/corrective actions should be adopted as
recommended actions to avoid the failure mode.
• For process actions, the evaluation may include but is not limited to a review of:
* Modified process flow diagram, floor plan, work instructions or preventive
maintenance plan.
* Review of equipment, fixtures or machinery specifications.
* New or modified sensing / detection device.
55

56
Responsibility and Target Completion Date:
• Enter the name of the individual and organization responsible for completing each
recommended action including the target completion date.
Action Results:
• This section identifies the results of any completed actions and their effect on S, O, D
rankings and RPN.
57
Refresh!
Maintaining PFMEAs:
• The PFMEA is a living document and should be reviewed whenever there is
a product or process design change and updated, as required. .
Linkages:
• In the development of a PFMEA it is important to utilize the information and
knowledge gained in the creation of the DFMEA.
59
Global Purchasing and Supply Chain
60
• Another connection is the relationship between potential design cause of failure
(DFMEA) and potential process failure mode (PFMEA).
Example: the design of a feature such as a hole can cause a particular failure
mode. The corresponding failure mode is the inability of the process to
manufacture the same feature as designed.
• While developing the PFMEA, it is the team’s responsibility to ensure that all
process related potential failure modes which lead to product related effects are
consistent between the DFMEA and the PFMEA.
• When the team develops the Control Plan, they need to assure that the PFMEA
current controls are consistent with the control methods specified in the Control
Plan.

Mistakes Often Seen..
• Confusion between cause & effect
• Confusion between severity, detection & occurrence.
• Too few causes identified
• Actions not relevant or not validated
• Detection assessed too low for a visual inspection
• FMEA done only by the Quality manager the
night before a customer visit, an audit, initial
sample presentation…

DO AS YOU SAY
SAY AS YOU DO
YES, THIS MEANS EVERYTHING YOU DO
1. Are operations listed according to the Process flow diagram and to the physical
process on the line?
2. Are requirements specified according to the design?
3. Are all of your suggested failure modes listed ?
4. Are all of your suggested Causes listed ?
5. Are all the required process controls (prevention and detection ) identified
• Now review all the failure modes in your teams other operations on the supplied PFMEA
– Are there any further FM’s you can see if so add to list?
