A Process Potential FMEA is an analytical technique used by a cross-functional team to ensure that all potential failure modes and their associated causes have been identified and countermeasured. Complete assemblies, along with every related system, subassembly and component should be evaluated.
Minimum Content Requirements
Follow the guidelines described in the AIAG Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis manual (latest edition) and ensure that the Kasai UK specific requirements listed below are also included.
Item
Additional Requirement
Process Function
The name of the process being analyzed in detail.
All processes should be considered (including inspection etc)
Requirement
Describe the process function (role and function to be essentially fulfilled) of the items. If the item has more than one function, describe each function in parallel.
Potential Failure Mode
Anticipate and describe all possible ways the process could fail to meet the process requirements and/or the design intent, not how it will fail. When describing the failure mode, avoid using non-specific terms such as 'damage' etc.
Potential Effect(s) of Failure
Describe the effects of the failure in terms of what the customer (both external and internal) might notice or experience. The supplier must contact Kasai UK in order to fully understand the functional relationship between the item being analyzed and other vehicle parts/ systems. The effect(s) of the failure on these functional relationships must be considered.
Potential Cause(s)/Mechanism(s) of Failure
List every potential cause and/or failure mechanism for each failure mode.
Current Process Controls (Prevention / Detection)
Describe the control method which has been applied in the past or is planned to be applied in the future, against the specified failure mode or assumed cause/ mechanism
Recommended Action
Study and describe the recommended action from the view of Design/ Evaluation/ Manufacturing departments, according to the result of risk priority
e.g.) Specification Change, Data collection by the confirmation of experiment evaluation or phenomenon, and Study the action in manufacturing engineering and manufacturing process control, etc.
The supplier should use the 5W1H (What, Where, When, Why, Who and How) analysis technique to help fully describe every potential failure mode or cause/ mechanism of failure.
