FMEA analysis of production processes

Training objectives

· Gain the ability to successfully perform a Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) according to the AIAG 4th Edition 2008 / SAE J1739:2009 guidelines;
· Gain knowledge of the basic principles of organization of a PFMEA process;
· Learning about the planning and process improvement strategies based on indicators other than RPN;
· Generate a positive attitude towards the method and a belief that it is highly effective and efficient within the team.

Dates and location

Estimated contribution of the practical part: 75%

Duration: 2 days for 8 h

Programme and exercises:

1. FMEA objectives. FMEA as a method of continuous quality improvement and as a method of risk analysing or management. 

2. Organization of a FMEA analysis, resources required, role and team composition.

3. The “part-family / generic PFMEA” concept, linking to the PDCA cycle.
4.  FMEA for structure (DFMEA) and process (PFMEA) - differences and relationships.
5.  Preparation of input data for the PFMEA (product and process requirements/specifications, process flow chart, characteristics matrix, non-conformity records).
6.  Formulation of functions, requirements, defects, causes and effects of defects, identification of control measures in the production process; distinction between detection and prevention.
7.  Identification and description of special properties (characteristics) in the PFMEA.
8.  Supporting tools in the PFMEA: characteristics matrix, flow chart, Pareto analysis, Ishikawa diagram, nWhy.

9.  Selection of risk indicators: S (Severity), O (Occurrence), D (Detection) according to the AIAG 4th Edition 2008 / SAE J1739:2009 guidelines. Critical interpretation of the RPN (Risk Priority Number).

10. Design of improvement actions - decision-making based on other considerations than the RPN - new indicators (SOD, SD), hazard rankings, risk matrices.
11. Versions of improvement actions - defect-addressed vs. cause-addressed actions, preventive vs. detective actions. 
12. Versions of PFMEA forms.


Exercises:

 1. Criteria for decision-making on production process improvement - a case study.

2. Performing a PFMEA for a selected product/process - working in teams:      

  • process identification: flow chart, functions, quality requirements; 
  • assessment of the current state of risk for the selected operation/defect (identification of potential defects, consequences, causes, measures such as detection and prevention, risk indicator assessment);
  • designing preventive actions, evaluating their hypothetical effectiveness;
  • discussion of the results.

A pre-test/post-test (only at the Customer’s request for closed training courses; training time: + 0.5 h/day).
