PFMEA INTRODUCTION(PROCESS FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS)Wang ChangHongWhat is FMEAFMEA is an analytical methodology used to ensure that potential problems have been considered and addressed throughout the product and process development process. Its most visible result is the documentation of the collective knowledge of cross-functional teams. Remark: FMEA has two types, one is DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, another is PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)Why do FMEAYou can DEFINE out the failures before they happenYou can control the process to prevent failures from occurringMinimise the risk of occurrenceWhen to do PMFEA The PFMEA is a “before-the-event” action, not an “after-the-fact” exercise, FMEA should:Be initiated before or at the feasibility stageBe initiated prior to tooling for productionHow to do PFMEAInput Preparation of PFMEA Process Flow Diagram must be prepared, it will be used as a tool to help establish the scope of analysis during manufacturing system design. - Take into account all manufacturing operations from individual components to assemblies. - Include all processes within the plant that can impact the manufacturing and assembly operation, such as shipping, receiving, transporting of material, storage, conveyors or labeling. Internal and External nonconformance (i.e., known failure modes based on historical data) Quality and Reliability HistoryIdentify the Team PFMEA development is the responsibility of a multi-functional team, whose members encompass the necessary subject matter knowledge.Process Flow DiagramFMEA Case study DC10 Cargo Door Reproduced from a paper issued by NASA March 21 2005In 1969 per FAA requirements, Douglas, manufacturer of the DC-10 asked Convair to perform a FMEA of the DC-10 cargo door systemThe FMEA discovered 9 sequences that could potentially threaten life. 4 involved sudden depressurisation in flight1 of the 4 was failure of the locking pin system causing the door lock not to l
