What is FMEA?FMEA = Failure Mode and Effects Analysis

or:Fehler-Möglichkeits- und Einfluss-Analyse

FMEA is a quality planning technique, i.e itis used in INNOVATIVE development and manufacturing processes

To forecast and reveal possible failures and to avoid them by implementing appropriate measures.

To document know-how (e.g. What can go wrong at which point in turning process? What parameters are important?).Inter-departmental interface for the exchange of expert knowledge (Personal communication is encouraged).

Measure of existence of a weak point extends from 1 (low risk)

to 1000 (high risk)

How likely is this failure cause?Probability that the cause of this failure occur from

1 (improbable) to 10 (probable)

How severe is this failure effect?The effect of the failure on the customer from 1 (no effect) to 10

(e.g. endangering safety of the customer)

How likely is it that this failure cause will be detected?Probability that the failure cause will be discovered prior to delivery to

customer from 1 (probable) to 10 (improbable)

To Task VI: Risk identification I

Risk-Identification is based on classified, partly subjective evaluations.

Risk Identification cannot be done on the basis of fixed rules or limits.

Risks can only be prioritised relatively to each other.

The following methods of risk-identification and determination of appropriate measures must therefore be verified from the engineers point of view.

To Task VI: Determination of measuresBasis: The RPN- priorised chains of failures.

For each single risk number (RNS, RND, RNO) specific measures can be determined (see below).

For the reduction of Total- RPN it usually makes sense,first to reduce the single RN with highest scores by appropriate measures.

Note measures always with the responsible person and date!
