94 Agenda What is an FMEA? Types of FMEAs What is a Process FMEA? The Process FMEA Form Some PFMEA Thoughts Questions / Comments TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p2

95 FMEA stands for: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Commonly referred to as a FEMA TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p3

96 The 3 Most Common Types of FMEAs are System FMEA Design FMEA Process FMEA TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p4

97 Types of FMEAs System FMEA Identifies the effect on the system when one or more of its components or subsystems fail to perform their intended functions System Objective System is designed to operate between 195 and 212 degrees System Component Failure Mode Thermostat opens too soon Possible System Effect Loss of efficiency May not pass Emissions No heat in Cabin TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p5

98 Types of FMEAs Design FMEA Helps identify design weaknesses and potential failure modes that might prevent a component or assembly to perform as intended (as designed) Design Objective Thermostat opens at 212 degrees Design Failure Mode Thermostat does not open at 212 degrees Possible Design Causes Spring load design is too high Piston travel design too short Wax pressure design too low Shaft clearance design is too tight TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p6

99 Types of FMEAs Process FMEA Identifies the potential failure modes, effects, and causes when a process step fails to produce its process function (intended output) Process Function Install spring A on the shaft Potential Failure wrong spring was installed Spring A Potential Cause Spring B placed in Spring A bin Potential Effect of failure Cell - 100% sort and scrap Customer cooling system overheats / damage to engine and other components Spring B TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p7

100 Lets Talk about the Process FMEA TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p8

101 A Process FMEA is - A structured, formal way to analyze a process to determine: How the process could fail What Effect the failure would have on the customer TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p9

102 What could have caused the failure What is the likelihood or probability that the failure will occur What is the likelihood or probability that the failure will be prevented or detected before it reaches the customer TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p10

103 The Process FMEA Form TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p11

109 PART PROCESS # SEVERITY OCCURRENCE Process step Description Function / Requirements Potential Failure Mode POTENTIAL EFFECT(S) OF FAILURE POTENTIAL CAUSE(S) OF FAILURE. Process Potential Failure Modes usually fall into these Categories: Process Function / Requirements Clamp part to table using pneumatic clamp CL143, clamp on casting boss at 95psi 1. No Function: Process operation totally non-functional 2. Over Function: Process output is greater than specified. 3. Under Function: Process output is less than specified. 4. Degraded over time: Process output degrades over time 5. Intermittent Function: Process output starts and stops (time between start and stop may vary) Process Potential Failure Modes Clamp is not Positioned on the Boss Clamp Pressure to High Clamp pressure too low Clamp jaws worn TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p17

112 PART PROCESS # SEVERITY OCCURRENCE Process step Description Function / Requirements Potential Failure Mode POTENTIAL EFFECT(S) OF FAILURE POTENTIAL CAUSE(S) OF FAILURE. Severity is the rank associated with the most serious effect from the Potential Effect of Failure column. This is a relative ranking, usually 1-10 within the scope of the individual FMEA. 1 being the least severe, and 10 being the most severe. TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p20

113 Simple Format Can be added to a drop down in Excel SEVERITY SCALE 10 Hazardous - w/o warning, safety issue 9 Hazardous - w/ warning, safety issue 8 Very High 7 High 6 Moderate 5 Low 4 Very Low 3 Minor 2 Very Minor 1 None TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p21

114 A Little More Explanation Uses 1-10 Rating but only 5 categories Severity Criteria Failure would have a very negligible effect on further processing or product performance Rating 1 Low severity rating. Failures have minor effect on further processing or product performance. Moderate severity rating. A failure that causes customer concern or program impact, but will not cause a Criticality 1 failure of the end item or an equivalent process failure. High severity rating. Failure causes severe impact to component or process and may contribute to a Criticality 1 failure of the end item or an equivalent process failure Very high severity rating. Failure contributes to a known or highly probable Criticality 1 failure of the end item or an equivalent process failure involving loss of life or a major loss of manufacturing facilities 9-10 TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p22

115 Effect My Favorite! Severity evaluation criteria Encourages thinking about Internal Process the Effect on both Customer Effect (Manufacturing/Assembly Effect) Ranking Internal Process vs. Customer Hazardous without warning Hazardous with warning affects safe product operation and/or involves non-compliance with government regulation - without warning. affects safe product operation and/or involves non-compliance with government regulation with warning. Or may endanger operator (machine or assembly) without warning. 10 Or may endanger operator (machine or assembly) with warning. 9 Very high Product/item inoperable (loss of primary function). Or 100% of product must be scrapped 8 High Product/item operable but at a reduced level of performance. Customer very dissatisfied. 100% of product must be sorted, some can be reworked at high cost, but most will be scrapped 7 Moderate Product/item operable but comfort/convenience item(s) inoperable. Customer dissatisfied. 100% of product must be sorted, most can be reworked at moderate cost, but some will be scrapped 6 Low Very low Product/item operable but comfort / convenience item(s) operable at a reduced level of performance. Fit and Finish. Item does not conform. Defect noticed by most customers. (Greater than 75%). 100% of product may have to be sorted and reworked off line at low cost, but some will be scrapped Defects readily identified during process. Can be reworked off line at low cost, with no scrap 4 5 Minor Fit and Finish. Item does not conform. Defect noticed by 50% of customers. Defects readily identified during process. Can be reworked on line at low cost with no scrap 3 Very Minor None Fit and Finish. Item does not conform. Defect noticed by discriminating customers (less than 25%). No discernible effect. Defects readily identified during process. Can be reworked on line at no cost with no scrap. 2 Or slight inconvenience to operation or operator, or no effect. 1 TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p23

The likelihood of Occurrence ranking number has a relative meaning rather than an absolute value. 1 being the least likely, and 10 being the most likely. TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p26

119 What is the probability that the potential failure cause will occur? Do we have data? maintenance, reject, customer returns, safety Occurrence Rating Criteria Criteria r Remote probability of occurrence. The team is not aware of this failure having ever occurred. Low probability of occurrence. Relatively few failures have occurred Moderate probability of occurrence. Occasional failure, but not in major proportions High probability of occurrence.

198 Magnetic Particle Inspection of Railroad Knuckles Joy Cooke, Director Car Engineering

199 Railroad Knuckles and Magnetic Particle Inspection What is a knuckle? How do knuckles fail? What happens when a knuckle fails? How can we prevent knuckle failures?

200 What is a knuckle? Part of coupler assembly Connects rolling stock Cars / Locomotives Cast steel Acts as a fuse Subject to Fatigue

201 What is a knuckle?

202 What is a knuckle?

203 How do Knuckles Fail? High Stress Area

204 What happens when a knuckle breaks? Cars Separate Emergency Air Brake Application Train Stops Conductor Walks Train Average train length: >4,000 ft. (¾ mile) Conductor finds knuckle broken Spare knuckle retrieved From locomotive or repair truck Replacement knuckle applied Cars re-coupled Air brakes restored Train movement resumes Average delay: 80 minutes 18x/week

205 Why does this matter? Last year on CSX, 930 knuckles broke ~18 per week, ~80 minutes per delay More than 1,200 hours of train delay

206 What can we do about it? New knuckle designs with significantly improved fatigue life Some well in excess if 1M cycles 5x to 10x improvement New knuckles are inspected by the manufacturer Wet method Shot-blasted surface Once in service, knuckles rust Dry method Gray powder for high contrast

207 What can we do about it? How do we conduct MPI on 2-3 million knuckles? Add MPI as part of the craft persons scope of work, make it routine Already inspect knuckles visually Train them to use MPI equipment.

208 Magnetic Particle Inspection of Knuckles PULLING FACE AREA PLACEMENT #1 PLACEMENT #2 PLACEMENT #3 PLACEMENT #4

209 MPI finds this type of defect 50% of the time If we can replace cracked knuckles before they break: Cars are not separated Emergency Air Brake Application does not happen Train is not delayed Conductor does not walk

210 Challenges Railroad environment not conducive to testing Cold Wet Dirty Electricity not always available Solutions Knuckles must be dry for inspection Cleaning knuckle face with wire brush standard operating procedure Flashlight to enhance visibility Generators supply electricity when not commercially available.

227 WILD Variation: OOR vs. Good Wheel - a simple low variation example

228 Wheel Force Measurement Variation: Wheel Tracking Variation R1 L1 R1 Tracking Position (wheel-rail contact) affects force magnitude consistency; Measurement Accuracy is NOT affected! L1: Asymmetric (two wear lines) R1: Centered (single wear line)

229 Wheel Force Measurement Variation: Wheel Tracking Variation (position on rail)

230 WILD Variation: Empty-Load Cycle - a typical example

231 Application of Vehicle Health Monitoring Data: WILD - a Summary Properly calibrated and maintained strain-gage based WILDs have the accuracy and resolution required to identify wheels that generate vertical forces that exceed the AAR standard for EHMC alerts. There are many factors that affect the magnitude of forces ALL Variation leads to lower than the true impact

232 Application of Vehicle Health Monitoring Data: WILD - a Summary (cont.) Factors affecting force magnitude include (but not limited to): Operating Speed Car Load Condition Wheel / Rail Contact Conditions Car Dynamic Behavior (hunting, rock & roll, pitch and bounce, etc) Understanding and accounting for these factors is necessary in order to properly interpret WILD data trends

236 Time is of the essence. Know your basics going in. What happens with every purchase? Identify the products / services Verify the products / services Evaluate and select suppliers / vendors documented assessment of ability Survey / audit when required Maintain records (good and bad guys) Complete and accurate records of what, when, to what standards Review and approve Allow our customers to check in TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p3

237 Understand the process A wife, three daughters and a granddaughter. One Henry rifle? PURCHASE NOT APPROVED!! Purchase process is fairly common and simple. TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p4

238 Work backwards! Collect info during the plant tour and during the normal travel of the audit. Parts and materials at incoming, in storage, being used, in final QA. Part number, PO number, heat number, description Get a good sample size. What is the process as seen from the shop floor?? How is a purchase started? By who? How is it communicated?? Purchase authority TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p5

239 Remember your 6 pack! What are you doing? How do you know how to do that? How do you know it s done right? What do you control to make sure it will be right? How do you control that? What do you do if it s not right? Does the process described here match the process described on the shop floor? Note the discrepancies. TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p6

240 Let the record show. Talk to the purchasing authority. Using the info collected, review the records. Do the records show: Part number Description Type, class, grade, model, drawing The quality system that applies (M-1003, Title and Date) How was the product or service inspected/ verified? Show me? We ll get to that. Who reviewed and approved the PO? Who was used? Are they approved? How? TTCI/AAR 10/20/2016 p7

241 Supplier / vendor assessment Evaluate and select subcontractors based on documented assessments of their ability to meet contract and quality requirements.
