  4. 1 • The “Standard” FMEA • FMEA is a processand a document. • Typically consists of two sections: • One completed as part of the formal FMEA process, • The other recording actions taken and results obtained. FMEA Process Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  5. Why are we studying FMEA? • It is a widely-applied “standard” quality process. • When properly-applied, has demonstrated good results. • Tons of supporting literature, tools, techniques, software, etc. • Good way to “teach reliability” – • Gateway to a variety of important quality/reliability-related topics. • For example… ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  6. Analyze: What’s the problem? Plan:What should we do? Verify:Did it help? Act:Do it! FMEA and Continuous Improvement FMEA can be a major element of a systematic continuous improvement loop – but is worthless without the rest of the loop. FMEA FMEA should be part of a comprehensive quality system. Each block should have systematic processes and documentation. FMEA can support this need. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  8. FMEA: Standardized Process and Documentation • Originated in the US Army in 1949, and became Mi-Std-1629 – • Basically ignored until NASA applied FMEA to Apollo space program. Became common in aerospace industry - primary application was for missions where you couldn’t repair failures. • Ford began to apply FMEA in 1972. By 1988, the “Big Three” US auto makers were using FMEA. In 1994, GM, Ford, and Daimler-Chrysler adopted QS-9000, the automotive version of ISO-9000, which mandates use of FMEA by automotive suppliers. • In 1985, the International Electrotechnical Commission adopted IEC-60812. • The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has created the ARP 5580 FMEA standard, which is applicable for commercial and military systems. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  9. Overview of FMEA Types • The most common types of FMEA are: • DFMEA: Design FMEA, applied primarily during product design, • PFMEA: Process FMEA, applied to product manufacturing processes, • You may also see reference to:: • System FMEA: Sometimes called the Concept FMEA - used early inthe concept/design stage. • Service FMEA: Applied to services provided for “customers”. • Finally, there is the: • FMECA: Criticality analysis – extends the basic FMEA focus toinclude the effects of failures. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  10. Overview of FMEA Types • FMEAs can also be classified as: • Functional FMEA: Focuses on functions vs. components, • Interface FMEA: Focuses on interconnections between components, • Detailed FMEA: Focuses on characteristics of a particular implementation, usually starting at the component level. We will first examine a Detailed DFMEA, the most common type. Here is a simple example of how to construct he DFMEA… ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  11. 1 Step 1: Obtain Bill of Material (BOM) Detailed DFMEA typically starts with a Bill of Materials, which is the source for completing the “Component Description” portion of the DFMEA document. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  12. Each line item in the BOM goes here FMEA Process Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  13. Step 2: Describe what each component does. Components may have multiple functions. Different functions may have different failure modes, so… Enter each function as a different line in the FMEA. FMEA Process Example: Component Description – - Fries Holder Component Functions – - Holds fries - Advertising Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  14. Step 3: For each function, describe how the component can fail. Functions may have multiple failure modes. Enter each failure mode as a different line in the FMEA. FMEA Process Example: Fries Holder failures –- Holds fries - Holder falls apart - Holder won’t open- Advertising - Printing smeared - Poor color registration Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  15. Step 4: For each failure mode, describe the effects. Failure modes may have multiple effects. Enter each failure effect as a different line in the FMEA. FMEA Process Example: Failure mode effects –- Holds fries - Holder falls apart - Fries fall out - Bag saturates with grease - Customer car seat stained - Holder won’t open - etc…- Advertising - Printing smeared - Customer can’t read advertising - Poor color registration - etc… Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  16. Note on Failure Mode Effects: • Failure mode effects can be - • Local Effects: For DFMEA, effects primarily at lowest level of BOM • Next Higher Effects: Effects primarily at next level of BOM • End Effects: Effects primarily at top of BOM ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  17. Note on Failure Mode Effects: • It can be beneficial to note the Failure Mode Effect Level in the FMEA. • Thinking in terms of levels can expose additional effects, this produces a more comprehensive FMEA. • For the preceding example: • Fries Fall Out might be a Local Effect (Level 2), • Bag Saturated with Grease might be a Next Higher Effect (Level 1), • Customer Car Seat Stained might be an End Effect (Level 0). • Note that the bag for holding the burger and fries was missed in this BOM! ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  18. Step 5: For each failure mode to failure mode effect pair, describe the cause of failure. It is possible to have multiple causes per failure mode. Enter each failure cause as a different line in the FMEA. FMEA Process Example: Failure causes –- Holds fries - Holder falls apart - Fries fall out - Improper gluing - Improper forming of holder - Bag saturated with grease - Fries saturated with grease - Bag absorbs grease - Customer car seat stained - Grease is not water soluble - Seat absorbs grease Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  19. Step 6: Current Controls are the various means by which the Failure Mode Effect, and/or the Failure Mode Cause is detected. This can be a person, a test, a review plan, etc. There may be multiple or no current controls for various conditions. FMEA Process Example: Current Controls –- Holds fries - Holder falls apart - Fries fall out - Improper gluing - Mfr. glue station operator - Restaurant fryer operator Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  20. So, where are we at now? We have covered several qualitative items associated with the detailed DFMEA. FMEA Process Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  21. So, where are we at now? Now we will examine somesemi-quantitative elements. They are semi-quantitative because they use numbers,but the numbers are typically subjective intuitive estimates,vs. hard data. FMEA Process Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  22. Semi-Quantitative Elements of the DFMEA: • Using the tables on the following slides or their equivalents, assign: • Severity Ranking: Rank the severity of each Failure Mode in the FMEA. • Occurrence Ranking: Rank the probability of occurrence of each Failure Cause in the FMEA. • Detection Ranking: Rank the probability that each Current Control will detect each Failure Mode, Failure Mode Effect and Failure Cause. • Risk Priority Number: • RPN = Severity x Occurrence x Detection • Rankings are all 1-10, so RPN is 1-1000 ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  23. 1 Rankings for DFMEA Severity(for each Failure Mode) ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  24. 1 Rankings for FMEA Occurrence (for each Failure Mode) ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  25. 1 Rankings for FMEA Detection Rank Description Criteria 10 Non- No known Controls available. Failure mode or its Detectable Cause is undetectable 9 Very Remote Very Remote Likelihood that Current Controls will detect Failure Mode or its Cause 8 Remote Remote Likelihood that the Current Controls will detect Failure Mode or its Cause 7 Very Low Very Low Likelihood that Current Controls will detect Failure Mode or its Cause 6 Low Low Likelihood that Current Controls will detect the Failure Mode or its Cause 5 Moderate Moderate Likelihood that Current Controls will detect the Failure Mode or its Cause 4 Moderately Moderately High Likelihood that current Controls High will detect Failure Mode or its Cause 3 High High Likelihood that Current Controls will detect Failure Mode or its Cause 2 Very High Very High Likelihood that Current Controls will detect Failure Mode or its Cause 1 Highly The Current Control will almost certainly detect the Detectable potential Cause of the Failure or its Failure Mode ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  26. Example RPN Calculation: Function Example: Fries holder function –- Holds fries - Holder falls apart - Fries fall out - Improper gluing - Mfr. glue station operator - Restaurant fryer operator - Bag saturated with grease - Fries saturated with grease - etc… - Bag absorbs grease - etc… - Customer car seat stained - Grease is not water soluble - etc… - Seat absorbs grease - etc…- etc… Failure Mode Failure Mode Effect Failure Cause Current Control Severity Ranking of Failure Mode Effect: Fries fall out = Very High = 8 Occurrence Ranking of Failure Cause: Improper gluing = Moderate = 5 Detection Ranking of Current Control: Mfr. Glue station operator = High = 3 RPN = 8 x 5 x 3 = 120 ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  27. So, where are we at now? We have described Failure Modes, Failure Mode Effects, Failure Causes, and Current Controls. We have assigned values to Severity Ranking, Occurrence Ranking, and Detection Ranking. We have calculated the Risk Priority Number. FMEA Process Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  28. So, where are we at now? The next logical step is to define Recommended Actions and assign Responsibilities and Completion Dates. But there are now a large number of line items in the FMEA. So we use the RPNs to prioritize the list, and just focus on the most critical issues. Then apply Continuous Improvement. FMEA Process Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  29. Selecting Items for Corrective Action Given a ranked list of items, the most common way to select the most important items is to perform a Pareto Analysis: For a set of cause and effect relationships, 80% of the effects are due to 20% of the causes. This is an observation that appears to apply to a large range of applications. But it is not really a Law of Nature (like e = mc2). There are two ways to apply this approach… ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  30. Method 2: Apply rule to the ranking Items above 80% Method 1: Apply rule to number of items 0.2 x 15 = 3 ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  31. Another Way to Prioritize: According to some reliability gurus, the “detection” part of the RPN calculation is immaterial. If you focus on severity and occurrence, you tend to “build quality in”, whereas including detectiion tends to “inspect quality in”. So for this approach, you might usea Risk Level Chart – Which graphically shows thehighest risk elements. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  32. What’s the Problem with FMEAs? • As multiple functions, failure modes, failure effects, failure causes, and current controls for each component branch out, it is clear that an FMEA can rapidly spiral out of control. • Nevertheless, each branch must be followed to its logical end if the FMEA is to serve its purpose. • The SAE ARP 5580 recommends a solution to this. • You can group together line items that exhibit identicalFailure Mode Effects. • This allows you to rationally address the myriad problems and actions indicated by the FMEA. • In other words… ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  33. After the FMEA document is complete, do a sort on: “Failure Mode Effects” This groups all the “Customer can’t read advertising” together, And “Fries fall out” together, etc… This aids in creating rational problem solving plans. Example: Failure mode effects –- Holds fries - Holder falls apart - Fries fall out - Bag saturated with grease - Customer car seat stained - Holder won’t open - …- Advertising - Printing smeared - Customer can’t read advertising - Poor color registration - Customer can’t read advertising Other approach might be to sort by Failure Cause or Failure Mode. To facilitate this sorting and grouping approach, people have createdpre-defined vocabularies describing failure modes, effects, and causes, i.e., “Customer”, not “Customers”. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  34. What’s Another Problem with FMEAs? • The process of clearly, concisely, and exhaustively identifying all functions, failure modes, failure mode effects, failure causes, and current controls can be quite difficult. • Especially if you start this process in the early phases of design (which you should), before this type of information is more readily available. • Relying on unstructured brainstorming to come up with this information is, in itself, not a highly-reliable process. • Later, we will discuss some structured, systematic tools, techniques, and processes to aid in performing these tasks. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  35. Analyze: What’s the problem? Plan:What should we do? Verify:Did it help? Act:Do it! So, where are we at now? Having selected items for corrective action, Results of actions are recorded, And new RPNs are calculated. Then, Pareto Analysis is performed again, and new Corrective Actions are identified. FMEA Process Action Results ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  36. 2 In the Reliability literature, you can find generic lists of Corrective Actions for different application areas… ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  37. Summary of DFMEA Steps: • Obtain Component descriptions from bill of materials. • Component Function: Describe all functions of each component. • Describe how each component can fail to perform each function (failure mode). • Describe all effects of each failure mode. • For each failure mode/effect pair, describe all causes. • For each failure mode effect and/or cause, describe the current means of detecting the condition. • Assign ranking numbers to Severity/Occurrence/Detection, and calculate RPN. • Prioritize conditions. Sort by Failure Mode Effects, Failure Cause or Failure Mode as needed to clarify major failure areas. • Determine Recommended Corrective Action. • Assign Responsibility and Completion Date. • Review Actions Taken. • Re-Assess Severity/Occurrence/ Detection rankings and re-calculate RPN • Repeat as needed.

  39. What Next?! • So, that’s the basic detailed DFMEA • In the next lecture on FMEA, we will talk about some modifications to this basic approach. • Here’s one final note on FMEA.. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  40. We needed to assign numerical values to calculate RPN, but aren’t these numbers pretty poorly defined? • Semi-Quantitative Elements of the DFMEA: • Using the tables on the following slides or their equivalents, assign: • Severity Ranking: Rank the severity of each Failure Mode in the FMEA. • Occurrence Ranking: Rank the probability of occurrence of each Failure Cause in the FMEA. • Detection Ranking: Rank the probability that each Current Control will detect each Failure Mode, Failure Mode Effect and Failure Cause. • Risk Priority Number: • RPN = Severity x Occurrence x Detection ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  41. FMEA: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis – • A systematic method • Of analyzing and ranking the risks • Associated with various failure modes (existing and potential), • Prioritizing them for remedial action, • Then acting on the highest ranked items, • Re-evaluating all risks, • And returning to the prioritization step in a continuous loop • Until marginal results set in. Well, note that initially, these numbers are all relative… …since they just serve to identify the most risky elements which you will address first. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1

  42. FMEA: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis – • A systematic method • Of analyzing and ranking the risks • Associated with various failure modes (existing and potential), • Prioritizing them for remedial action, • Then acting on the highest ranked items, • Re-evaluating all risks, • And returning to the prioritization step in a continuous loop • Until marginal results set in. The difficulty comes later when you need to know when to stop making improvements. Hopefully, by that time you will have more confidence in your quantitative assessments. ENMA 282: FMEA - 1
