DFMEA
Purpose
To deepen understanding and refine
your current approach to Design
FMEA’s.
Definition of FMEA
A Failure Mode and Effect Analysis uses a
disciplined technique to identify and help eliminate
product and process potential failure modes.
o By ID of potential failures
o Assessing the risks caused by failure modes and Identify
corrective actions
o Prioritizing corrective actions
o Carry out corrective actions

Design Verification (Current Design Controls)
▪ Think of Design Control in two ways; Prevention and
Detection. List them separately.
▪ To save time, add any new (untried) prevention/
detection ideas to the document under Recommended
Actions column.
o Prevention is specifically related to reduction or elimination of a
cause.
o Detection is how well the test or series of tests may find the
design flaw
– Causes
– Failure Mode

Very High chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/ mechanism
and subsequent failure mode.
High chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/ mechanism and

Design Controls will almost certainly detect a potential cause/ mechanism and
subsequent failure mode.
DETECTION
SUGGESTED DETECTION EVALATION CRITERIA
CRITERIA RNK.
Analysis Of Risk
▪ RPN / RISK PRIORITY NUMBER
▪ What Is Risk?
▪ Probability of danger
▪ Severity/Occurrence/Cause
Evaluation by RPN Only
▪ Case 1
o S=5 O=5 D=2 RPN = 50
▪ Case 2
o S=3 O=3 D=6 RPN = 54
▪ Case 3
o S=2 O=10, D=10 = 200
▪ Case 4
o S=9 O=2 D=3 = 54
WHICH ONE
IS WORSE?
Example
▪ Extreme Safety/Regulatory Risk
o =9 & 10 Severity
▪ High Risk to Customer Satisfaction
o Sev. > or = to 5 and Occ > or = 4
▪ Consider Detection only as a measure of Test
Capability.

Re-rating RPN After Actions Have Occurred
▪ Severity typically stays the same.
▪ Occurrence is the primary item to reduce / focus on.
▪ Detection is reduced only as a last resort.
▪ Do not plan to REDUCE RPN with detection actions!!!
o 100% inspection is only 80% effective!
o Reducing RPN with detection does not eliminate failure mode,
or reduce probability of causes
o Detection of 10 is not bad if occurrence is 1
FMEA in a continuous flow process
●Steel Making example:
!
▪ Design FMEA was performed on a Crankshaft to
determine the best material for the product being
considered. This was a critical application.
!
▪ Key features such as Geometry, Strength, Duty Cycle,
were described to the Steel producer.

  • 32. Design Verification (Current Design Controls) ▪ Think of Design Control in two ways; Prevention and Detection. List them separately. ▪ To save time, add any new (untried) prevention/ detection ideas to the document under Recommended Actions column. o Prevention is specifically related to reduction or elimination of a cause. o Detection is how well the test or series of tests may find the design flaw – Causes – Failure Mode

Detection Rating Absolute Uncertainty Very Remote Remote Very Low Low Moderate Moderately High High Very High Almost Certain 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Design Control will not and/or cannot detect a potential cause/ mechanism and subsequent failure mode; or there is no Design Control. Very Remote chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/ mechanism and subsequent failure mode. Remote chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/ mechanism and subsequent failure mode. Very Low chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/mechanism and subsequent failure mode. Low chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/mechanism and subsequent failure mode. Moderate chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/ mechanism and subsequent failure mode. Moderately High chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/ mechanism and subsequent failure mode. Very High chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/ mechanism and subsequent failure mode. High chance the Design Control will detect a potential cause/ mechanism and subsequent failure mode. Design Controls will almost certainly detect a potential cause/ mechanism and subsequent failure mode. DETECTION SUGGESTED DETECTION EVALATION CRITERIA CRITERIA RNK.
  • 36. Analysis Of Risk ▪ RPN / RISK PRIORITY NUMBER ▪ What Is Risk? ▪ Probability of danger ▪ Severity/Occurrence/Cause
  • 37. Evaluation by RPN Only ▪ Case 1 o S=5 O=5 D=2 RPN = 50 ▪ Case 2 o S=3 O=3 D=6 RPN = 54 ▪ Case 3 o S=2 O=10, D=10 = 200 ▪ Case 4 o S=9 O=2 D=3 = 54 WHICH ONE IS WORSE?
  • 38. Example ▪ Extreme Safety/Regulatory Risk o =9 & 10 Severity ▪ High Risk to Customer Satisfaction o Sev. > or = to 5 and Occ > or = 4 ▪ Consider Detection only as a measure of Test Capability.

  • 43. Re-rating RPN After Actions Have Occurred ▪ Severity typically stays the same. ▪ Occurrence is the primary item to reduce / focus on. ▪ Detection is reduced only as a last resort. ▪ Do not plan to REDUCE RPN with detection actions!!! o 100% inspection is only 80% effective! o Reducing RPN with detection does not eliminate failure mode, or reduce probability of causes o Detection of 10 is not bad if occurrence is 1
  • 44. FMEA in a continuous flow process ●Steel Making example: ! ▪ Design FMEA was performed on a Crankshaft to determine the best material for the product being considered. This was a critical application. ! ▪ Key features such as Geometry, Strength, Duty Cycle, were described to the Steel producer.
