An FMEA is basically a Risk Analysis Tool that helps us, in a structured way, to detect all potential sources of failure in a design and all process steps, against functional requirements, including their effects and their causes.
Product fail to satisfy customer requirements and expectations due to following reasons:
Product fail to satisfy customer requirements and expectations due to following reasons:
- Errors in design
- Product misuse
- Flaws induced by the manufacturing processes
- Not understanding customer requirements properly
- Repeated defects from suppliers
- Re occurrence of internal failures
We need a systematic method of identifying and preventing system, product and process problems before they occur.
We conduct FMEA to improve quality of final product and to reduce total cost. It contributes to improved designs for product, processes resulting in higher reliability, better quality, increased safety and improved customer satisfaction. If FMEA is applied, number of failures will be detected at a very early stage. It decreases development time, redesign costs, warranty costs, and decreasing waste and non value added operations.
Thank you for reading this article and i hope this helped to understand what is FMEA process.
