PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
FMEA focused on manufacturing or service process failure modes, causes, effects and controls.
Examples
- 01The PFMEA for a new assembly line lists each step, such as press-fitting a bearing, and what can go wrong there.
- 02The supplier's PFMEA is reviewed to check that every special characteristic has a matching control in the control plan.
- 03When a new defect occurs, the PFMEA is updated with the failure mode and the new control.
