DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
FMEA focused on potential design failure modes, their effects, causes and preventive or detection controls.
Examples
- 01Before freezing the design, the team runs a DFMEA on a plastic clip and finds the snap hook could crack at -30 °C.
- 02The supplier responsible for the design of the sensor presents its DFMEA so the customer can see which failure modes are covered by validation tests.
- 03After a field failure, the DFMEA is updated with the new failure mode and the design verification plan gets an additional test.
