Gopinath, 1. In my experience you do the PFMEA for the process. You use the defects to help identify the source of the defect and calculate the RPN (primarily...
Hi, I am of a slightly different opinion. I too think you should do it for the process, and what you shoud do is identify the possible failure modes of the...

Thanks for the link. Noticed that the samples provided are indeed either process or product based. What intrigues me is the area of intangibles ie. how to...
Hi John, Thanks for your feedback. I would agree with your findings that FMEA is useful if the process steps are specified and the desired output clear. Guess...
Martin, I recognize the variable output of a "customer intimacy strategy". But the process could still provide how the employee is to respond (verbally vs. ...

Dear all FMEA gurus, I'm trying to do process FMEA across several process levels. As per my limitted understanding, FMEA a bottom-up approach. This means that...
Gustavo: I don't know if this would be of help, but you might consider using Exposure as a criteria to replace Detection. Since worse Exposure results in...

Dear "Chanleezhang", About your doubt, in my opinion, the best approach to do a "cascading process FMEA analysis" is the use of a combined application of FMEA...

I have a different spin on how to do this. First, identify the failure effects of the manufactured products as seen by their customers. This should be from...
