5.1 Analysis of Process Potential Failures and Effects
Activity Purpose:
Identify potential process failure modes, their associated causes and their effects.
Implement effective countermeasures to minimize the probability of failure occurring.
Notes:
The supplier must consider historical concerns, recurrence prevention, and customer satisfaction targets on assemblies and sub-assemblies / components when deciding the scope of the activity.
