Question 1

DFMEA

Answer 1

Is the application of the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method specifically to product/service design.

There are 11 steps to complete DFMEA:

1. Design Review – Use the product/service design drawings or documents to identify each component and its relation with other components of product/service
2. Brainstorm potential failure modes
3. List potential failure modes
4. List potential effects of failure modes
5. Assign the severity ranking which should be based on consequences of failure (1 to 10) (Threat to human life, accident or safety issue is scored 10)
6. Assign the occurance ranking (1 to 10)
7. Assign detection ranking based on the chance of detection prior to failure (1 to 10) (Easy for detection gets less score – 1, difficult to
   detect should be assigend higher score)
8. Calculate the SOD (Severity x Occurrence x Detection) number or risk priority number (RPN)
9. Develop action plan to reduce vital RPNs (Above set baseline)
10. Implement the improvements identified
11. Calculate RPN again based on improvements. Do mistake proofing.

Question 2

FEA

Answer 2

is a numerical method for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics. It is also referred to as finite element analysis (FEA). Typical problem areas of interest include structural analysis, heat transfer, fluid flow, mass transport, and electromagnetic potential. The analytical solution of these problems generally require the solution to boundary value problems for partial differential equations. The finite element method formulation of the problem results in a system of algebraic equations. The method yields approximate values of the unknowns at discrete number of points over the domain.[1] To solve the problem, it subdivides a large problem into smaller, simpler parts that are called finite elements. The simple equations that model these finite elements are then assembled into a larger system of equations that models the entire problem. FEM then uses variational methods from the calculus of variations to approximate a solution by minimizing an associated error function.

Question 4

FEA

Answer 4

Finite Engineering Analysis
Finite element analysis (FEA) is the modeling of products and systems in a virtual environment, for the purpose of finding and solving potential (or existing) structural or performance issues. FEA is the practical application of the finite element method (FEM), which is used by engineers and scientists to mathematically model and numerically solve complex structural, fluid and multiphysics problems. FEA software can be utilized in a wide range of industries
FEA can help determine any points of weakness in a design before it is manufactured.

Question 6

IMDS

Answer 6

The International Material Data System (IMDS) is a global data repository that contains information on materials used by the automotive industry. Several leading auto manufacturers use the IMDS to maintain data for various reporting requirements.

In the IMDS, all materials present in finished automobile manufacturing are collected, maintained, analysed and archived. IMDS facilitates meeting the obligations placed on automobile manufacturers, and thus on their suppliers, by national and international standards, laws and regulations.

Question 7

Question 8

ASIL

Answer 8

Automotive Safety Integrity Level
is a risk classification scheme defined by the ISO 26262 - Functional Safety for Road Vehicles standard. This is an adaptation of the Safety Integrity Level used in IEC 61508 for the automotive industry. This classification helps defining the safety requirements necessary to be in line with the ISO 26262 standard. The ASIL is established by performing a risk analysis of a potential hazard by looking at the Severity, Exposure and Controllability of the vehicle operating scenario. The safety goal for that hazard in turn carries the ASIL requirements.

Question 13

CQP

Answer 13

Component Quality
Plan The CQP is a final inspection document, listing any features that can be inspected or
measured on the completed part, and the method and frequency by which those features
are controlled at final inspection. The CQP therefore contains elements from the drawing,
engineering specifications, the control plan, and (where relevant) the aesthetic inspection
requirements. McLaren’s goods-in inspection use the same document.
The CQP is a controlled document; approval is required for each change.

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerances

Question 43

Lot Traceability

Answer 43

All suppliers to Faraday Future will have an effective lot definition and traceability procedure. The shipper
number will be linked to the lot traceability procedure in such a way that the delivered product can be traced
back to the raw material. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the FF Supplier Quality Engineer, in general,
a lot consist of one shift, or eight hours of production, whichever is smaller.
For Bulk Material Processes, lot size may be defined by quantity and vary based on process/production
equipment. Faraday Future reserves the right to specify a maximum batch size. Each lot shall be traceable back
to the raw material used. The lot definition shall reflect all significant processes influencing the
component/material, with the shipping lot number reflecting the last value added operation. Suppliers shall
ensure that their lot traceability system maintains its integrity throughout the entire extended supply chain,
including not only raw material but also purchased components/products.
Many components’ lifeline begins and ends within the facility of the supplier. There are those components,
however, that do require processing by outside companies to finish the process stream. These include heat
treat, coining, grinding, coating, and other various processes. If the original lot were batch processed through
the different secondary processes, then there would be no need to change the original lot number. However,
if the batches are split at a secondary processor, then the lot number for each of the batches should be unique.
