Quiz 6 Flashcards
FMEA
Failure Modes And Effects Analysis
Robust Design
A process that is resistant to operator errors and inconsistentencies.
What is FMEA?
A tool to identify and evaluate possible product or process failures and the risks associated with them.
FEMA is used to
Build a plan for reducing or eliminating risk. Evaluating the risks of failure.
Basics of FMEA
FMEA Team Size FMEA Team Membership FMEA Team Leader The Role of the Process Expert Training the FMEA Team FMEA Scope
FMEA Team
Manufacturing Engineering Materials/Purchasing R&D Maintenance Quality Tech Service Customers Suppliers
FMEA Team Members
Process Engineer (Lead) Industrial Engineer Design Engineer Reliability Engineer Tooling Engineer Maintenance Engineer Styling Engineer Project Manager or Rep. Quality Engineer
Design FMEA uncovers problems that may result in:
Safety Hazards
Malfunctions
Shortened product life or decreased service satisfaction
Design FMEA Asks How:
How can the product or service fail?
How can the 6M’s cause process problems?
When to use FMEA?
In the Improve phase of DMAIC to expose potential problems in the solution.
Use brainstorming and/or data analysis methods to identify key failure modes
Critical process or project steps
High cost and/or customer impact
High probability (problems we see often)
Damage control steps
Error Proofing
Robust Design
Benefits of FMEA
Captures the collective knowledge of a team
Improves the quality, reliability, and safety of the process
Reduces process development time and cost
Tools for Analyze
Measuring and Modeling ANOVA MANOVA Confidence Intervals Hypothesis Testing
Statistical Inference
Those methods by which one makes inferences or generalizations about a population.
