PFMEA • *Process Failure • Modes Effects Analysis • PFMEA Training Course • Level 1 • *The “P” in PFMEA = Potential, Process, or Product • **Level 1 is an “introductory” level course
Course Content • Course Objectives • What is a PFMEA? • PFMEA – Important Points • Benefits • When should a PFMEA be completed? • Example • Review • Additional Resources
PFMEA Benefits • By Preventingerrors or problems… • You prevent waste, improve quality and cycle-times, and reduce costs ! • You can effectively Prevent • rework, retest, re-inspection, poor quality, higher costs, etc. • It costs companies less to prevent problems than to react to them (Firefighting = Dollars Wasted) • You can improve Cycle-times • Time, Labor, and money is more effectively spent on “preventing” rather than “reacting” to errors • PFMEAs make teams more effective!
How do we perform a PFMEA? • #1: Identify the process or product that requires the PFMEA Analysis … • Recommended: • New processes being launched • Business, transaction, service, or manufacturing process • Current processes with poor yields, rework, errors, defects, poor cycle-times, high costs, high customer dissatisfaction, etc.
How to perform a PFMEA • Complete the next column in the PFMEA • Column 3 – Brainstorm and list all the “effects” of the failure mode(s )if it actually occurred. The “effects” of a failure, defect or error could be both the internal (e.g. at the next operation) effect and the external effect (e.g. at the customer) • Drive to Work • Stuck in • Traffic • Late for • Work • In Column 3 – List all of the potential (internal and external) effects of the Failure Modes, defects or errors : Example-Customer rejects, poor fit, rework, cycle-time increase, test failure • This “effects” list will help you determine the “Severity” ranking to be placed in column 4
