Action Priority (AP)
FMEA Action Priority
AIAG-VDA FMEA prioritization logic that combines severity, occurrence and detection into High, Medium or Low action priority.
Examples
- 01In the AIAG-VDA PFMEA for a weld cell, a missing weld nut scores Action Priority (AP) High, so a sensor-based check is added before launch.
- 02The supplier's FMEA is reviewed line by line, and every High AP item must show a completed action, not just a planned one.
- 03After a field complaint, the team checks why the failure mode was rated Low AP and updates the occurrence rating with the new evidence.
