D F M E A  World Class Results
What Is ‘World Class?’ According To Most Marketplace Studies, “Best In Class” Quality Includes: A Very Small Number Of Customer-Perceived Defects During Early Ownership The Definition Of “Defect” Continues To Intensify No Severe Defects That Affect Safety During Normal Service Life 75 to 90% Of All Defects Are Design Based Manufacturing Defects Tend To Be More Severe
Common Practices: Not World Class Defect Elimination Is Largely Based On Defect Detection End Of Line Inspection & Post Launch Correction Expensive & Difficult To Control The Law Of Defects: If A Non-Conforming Item Is Found, Two Things Are Certain: It Isn’t The First Non-Conforming Part Produced Quarantine Efforts Will Be Less Than 100% Effective Some Defective Parts Will Reach End Customers
FMEA & World Class Results FMEA Is  A FORMAL PROCESS That: Identifies WHAT Can Go Wrong Quantitatively Prioritizes Potential Problems Improves Designs & Manufacturing Processes  FMEA Does Not Eliminate Risk—It Helps Manage Risk Detection Of Non-Conformance Is Ineffective Excellence Depends On Defect Prevention DFMEA Is Really About Cost Reduction Drives VERIFICATION Activities In Quality Systems—But It’s  Not Just About Quality …
Verification A Methodology That Seeks To Provide Reasonable Evidence That A Product Design Meets Market Requirements Not Absolute Proof—Reasonable Evidence The Goal Is To Demonstrate That Products Are  Fit For Use —Not Mere Compliance With Specifications Or Standards Customers Ultimately Don’t Care About Standards Or Specifications
World Class Verification Verification Is Based On A Logical Foundation Create A Concept, Detail The Design, & Prove That The Final Design Is Fit For Use World Class Verification Relies More On Prevention Than Detection Of Errors Analysis Rather Than Testing World Class Verification Also Controls Disbursement Of Engineering Expense In Development Projects…

1 Define Project   Project Assignment Development Team FMEA  Knowledge Block Diagram Pencil Assembly Barrel Assembly Lead Tube Assembly Eraser Clip Main Tube Eraser Cup Spring Feed Assembly Spring Tube Spring Flexible Tip Tube System Subsystems Components Parts
Step 2 Construct A “P” (Parameter) Diagram A P diagram shows how the product should work—the ideal function A P diagram also shows critical noise factors for DFMEA Adjoining Hardware (Often Seen In Block Diagrams) Environmental Challenges Critical User Factors
1 Define Project   Project Assignment Development Team FMEA  Knowledge P- Diagram Noise Factors Variation Within Specification Develop Later… Environmental Interactions Moisture Dirt Changes With Time/Usage Wear, Material Degradation System Interactions/ Adjoining Hardware Paper Usually includes items in block diagram Customer Use/ Life Cycle Hand Sizes Shirt Pockets Signal Factors User Force & Motion Response/Ideal Function Continuous Marks Erasable Marks Make Marks Control Factors (Verification Issues) Develop Later… Error States Develop Later…
Pencil: P-Diagram Response/Ideal Function Continuous &  Erasable Marks Noise Factors Variation Within Specification Develop Later… Environmental Interactions Moisture Dirt Changes With Time/Usage Wear &  Degradation System Interactions/ Adjoining Hardware Paper (External to system) May Include items in block diagram Customer Use/ Life Cycle Hand Sizes Shirt Pockets Signal Factors User Force & Motion Pencil Assy Control Factors (Verification Issues) Develop Later… Step 6 Error States Develop Later… Step 3
2 Analyze Product Functions Interface  Matrix
Pencil Matrix Setup: Identity Cells Mirror Cells INTERNAL From P-Diagram (Important Noise Factors) Each cell identifies serial or direct relationships -Hip Bone to Thigh Bone to Knee Bone NOT  Hip to Knee  UNLESS there is a direct physical or electrical connection, or an exchange of information or material

Determine Functional Requirements… Range, Target, Tolerance… This Generates Product Specifications! Work From Right To Left Within Diagrams (Start With Terminal Functions) You Can Use Specification Worksheet… Generate Design Specifications Fit For  Use!! Not Just  “Specs”
FUNCTION and MODE Failures Can Arise When Function Is Not Fulfilled In Four Different Ways: FUNCTION FAILURE MODE  Categories Absence  of  Function Incomplete,  Partial, Excess or Decayed  Function Function  Occurs  Too Soon Or  Too Late Additional  Unwanted  Function
The Failure Mode Worksheet Verb-Noun Stan- dard Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3 x x x x
3 Deduce Failure Modes Failure  Mode W/S
Mode From Step 3 Effect From  Step 4 6 Cause  From Step 5 3 3 Action Against Cause Physical Test For Effect 7 RPN & Action Planning Main W/S 4 Brainstorm Effects & Rate Severity Main W/S 5 Brainstorm Causes & Rate Occurrence Main W/S 6 Develop Controls & Rate Detection Main W/S 8 Measure, Track & Drive Action Main W/S
Effects and Severity What Are the Consequences of Failure? How Will a Failure Impact Customers? What things will happen if this failure mode occurs? How will customers react if these things happen?
Cause & Effect Relationships… FUNCTION FAILURE MODE (ERROR STATE) Cause Cause Cause Cause Cause Effect Effect Effect Effect Effect
Cause-Mode-Effect Chains How Many Combinations? N   C   !  X  N   E   ! Conclusion:  One-To-One Cause-Effect Relationships Can Be Difficult To Establish … It’s not necessary to know whether a specific cause leads to a specific effect to improve a design EFFECT EFFECT EFFECT CAUSE CAUSE CAUSE FAILURE MODE
Best Practices Work Column By Column, NOT Row By Row For Each Mode, Brainstorm Reasonable Effects Select The Most Severe Effect Enter That Effect On the Worksheet Then Move To The Next Mode  You May Enter More Effects But This Will Have Little Practical Impact On DFMEA Results! After Listing  ALL Effects , Then Rate The Severity Of The Effects Better, Faster, Easier
Brainstorm EFFECTS For Each MODE When Multiple Effects Occur, Enter [At Least] The “Worst Case” Effect Brainstorm All Effects Before Rating Severity
Cause & Occurrence What Events Are Responsible for a Failure Mode Occurring? How Likely Is This Set of Events?
Best Practices Work Column By Column Brainstorm Reasonable Causes For Each Mode, Working Mode-By-Mode Hide  The Effect & Severity Columns When Considering Causes You Are NOT Brainstorming Causes Of Effects—You ARE Brainstorming Causes Of Function Disruption Select The Most Likely Cause Enter That Cause On the Worksheet—Enter More Causes If The Likelihood Is Similar Then Move To The Next Mode After Listing ALL Causes,  Then  Rate Occurrence
Brainstorm Causes Estimate Occurrence Of Cause(s) & Record On The Main Worksheet...  After  Listing Causes Block Out Effects Column!
