Results Documentation
The results of each FMEA study is fully documented. An FMEA study is not finished until the results documentation has been completed.
FMEA ANALYSIS - Six Step Approach
Step 1 - Planning and Preparation
Step 1 - Planning and Preparation
The FMEA study starts with a purposeful and careful definition of the scope. The management team is responsible for setting the scope of the study. Steps 1 to 3 represent the “System Analysis” phase of an FMEA study
Step 2 - Structure Analysis
Step 1 - Planning and Preparation
Structure analysis is used to identify and break down the process into sequential steps, interfaces and logistical elements. It uses the boundaries stipulated in the definition of scope done in step 1 in order to identify each stage, interface and logistical element in the process at hand.
Step 3 - Function Analysis
Explores what the product should be doing in the Function Analysis step, and what is executed in the general process, and how this functionality is facilitated. When using Structure Analysis, each element is analyzed separately in terms of its function and corresponding requirements.
Step 4 - Failure Analysis
Step 4 - Failure Analysis
In step 4, the concept of a “failure chain” is used to understand and visualize imperfections in the process. This chain is made up of the mode, effect and cause of the failure. Analyzing failures involves identifying how the focus elements detailed during the Structure Analysis may fail to perform intended functions documented by the Function Analysis. A failure mode leads to a failure effect triggered by a failure cause. Determining potential causes is at the heart of an FMEA.
Step 5 - Risk Analysis
Step 4 - Failure Analysis
Step 5 - Risk Analysis
In Step 5, the Severity, Occurrence and Detection of each failure chain is evaluated. An action priority level of “High, Medium or Low” is obtained based on evaluations, as indicated by the Action Priority Tables. The action priority tables do not alone establish a “risk priority,” but rather a priority level for action needed, aimed at reducing the risk of failure to function as intended. If the level obtained is high, action to improve prevention and/or detection controls (or justification on why current controls are adequate) must be taken.
Step 6 - Optimization
Step 4 - Failure Analysis
Step 5 - Risk Analysis
The primary objective of the optimization step is to develop actions that reduce risks and increase customer satisfaction, improving the product or service. Most actions will likely involve lowering the likelihood of the occurrence of failure causes or improving detection controls; either approach leads to a more robust design.
