1 FMEA-QFD-1 Focused appraisal with formal methods/techniques General understanding of the product. What does the product look like? What does the product consists of? How (well) does the product work and how is it used?? Lifecycle appraisal with Design for X What makes a good product I? - Key Performance Indicators What makes a good product II? - Key Product Characteristics What makes a good product III? - Key Process Characteristics Design for X Safety, Environment, Manufacture and Assembly, Ergonomics and Esthetics etc. Focused appraisal with formal methods/techniques FMEA QFD Market and Technology Appraisal Perception Mapping Market segmentation Product life cycle FMEA stands for Failure Modes and Effect Analysis Introduction FMEA-QFD-3 FMEA-QFD-4 What is FMEA? FMEA Purpose s and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured analytical technique for assessing risk during product development to identify early corrective action. Structured group of activities which... Identify potential failure modes Prioritize actions Document the process. Failures FMEA Time FMEA-QFD-1

2 FMEA-QFD-5 FMEA-QFD-6 Typical Applications of FMEA? What benefits does FMEA bring? From very simple products To very sophisticated products Aerospace Automotive Chemical processes Nuclear Consumer products Software products Service products Etc. Early identification of problems Right first time design Reduced scrap Improved product reliability Reduced warranty returns Appropriate recommended actions may not have been taken. Savings in engineering time. Reduction of changes immediately before production start (Commercial Release). FMEA-QFD-7 FMEA-QFD-8 Brief History of FMEA Overview of FMEA Worksheet It has been the result of continuous crystalization of good practices in design engineering, quality and reliability engineering. 1920s Good practices start emerge 1950s Become standards in USA and UK 1970s-1980s Widely adopted across the industrial spectrum Usually intensive short-course training very expensive Since 1990s Contractual requirements in several industrial sectors Widely taught to college students FMEA Number Prepared By FMEA Component Starlock Washer Assembly Design Key Effect H/Lamp Adjuster Core Team FMEA-QFD-2

3 FMEA-QFD-9 FMEA-QFD-10 FMEA Analysis Procedure Determine s and their s Part Failure mode Effect Effects Cause Design Control Calculate s Rating Rating Rate Similar to what we have discussed on using BOM for al Analysis. List all product items (in the form of BOM) Identify and describe all functions for each = Risk Priority Number Robust Design FMEA-QFD-11 FMEA-QFD-12 Describe How does it fail? Verb Noun Effect Indicates action, occurrence, being Generate Control Display Indicates what the action relates to light speed information Consider the s of Body of Ball-Point Pen. Consider the s of Tube Sub-Assembly of Ball- Point Pen. FMEA-QFD-3

4 FMEA-QFD-13 FMEA-QFD-14 Effects of Failure (Modes) Consequence/Impacts Effects of Failure (Modes) Examples Effect Effect What are the effects of the failure relating to: another part the complete assembly the customer the enduser the governmental regulations Consider the Effects of the - Not comfortable to hold of Body of Ball-Point Pen. Consider the Effects of the Irregular/messy lines of Tube Sub-assembly of Ball-Point Pen. FMEA-QFD-15 FMEA-QFD-16 (S) How Serious? FMEA Rating Criteria Effect Effect of Failure Cause of Failure Design How bad is it? How often? What checks? Consider the Effects of the - Not comfortable to hold of Body of Ball-Point Pen. Bad writing - Concerned Painful fingers - Concerned Consider the Effects of the Irregular/messy lines of Tube Sub-assembly of Ball-Point Pen. Bad report -> Loose job -> Extremely serious RATING SEVERITY Hardly Noticeable Dissatisfaction Serious Effects OCCURRENCE Almost Never Occasionally Often DETECTION Absolutely Obvious Could Go Unnoticed Undetectable FMEA-QFD-4

5 FMEA-QFD-17 FMEA-QFD-18 Cause of Failure What causes the failure? Cause of Failure Sources of the Cause Effect Effect Consider the Cause(s) of the - Not comfortable to hold of Body of Ball-Point Pen. Consider the Cause(s) of the Irregular/messy lines of Tube Sub-assembly of Ball-Point Pen. A cause may be rooted at the Design Stage Under designed A cause may be rooted at the Production/Delivery Stage Poor quality control A cause may be rooted at the Use Stage Improper uses FMEA-QFD-19 FMEA-QFD-20 Manufacturing misbuilds Manufacturing misbuilds Due to design Deficiencies Robust Design FMEA-QFD-5

6 FMEA-QFD-21 FMEA-QFD-22 (O) How often does it cause the failure? FMEA Rating Criteria Effect Effect of Failure Cause of Failure Design How bad is it? How often? What checks? Consider the Cause(s) of the - Not comfortable to hold of Body of Ball-Point Pen. Shape Cross Section (Design, O = 1) RATING SEVERITY OCCURRENCE DETECTION Consider the Cause(s) of the Irregular/messy lines of Tube Sub-assembly of Ball-Point Pen. Tolerance between Ball and Seat is too large (Manufacturing, O = 6) Temperature is too high (Use Environment, O = 7) Hardly Noticeable Dissatisfaction Serious Effects Almost Never Occasionally Often Absolutely Obvious Could Go Unnoticed Undetectable FMEA-QFD-23 FMEA-QFD-24 Design and Methods How do you detect the failure?

SEVERITY Hardly Noticeable Dissatisfaction Serious Effects How often? OCCURRENCE Almost Never Occasionally Often What checks? DETECTION Absolutely Obvious Could Go Unnoticed Undetectable Effect (Mode) = S * O * D (Product of S, O and D ratings) () = Sum of s of all the failure modes. () = Sum of s of all the functions (Product) = Sum of s of all the items What should be done if a has more than one Effects/Causes/s? FMEA-QFD-27 FMEA-QFD-28 Interpreting s FMEA Results Planning for Effect Effect The higher the is, the... The lower the is, the... should be recommended for those items with higher s. More design time and efforts should be allocated and dedicated to items with higher s. Identify those functions and items with high s. Recomend actions in order to Eliminate the cause of failure Minimize the effect of failure Reduce the frequency of failure/cause Faciltate failure detection and control Faciltate failure recovery Etc. FMEA-QFD-7

8 FMEA-QFD-29 FMEA-QFD-30 Managing FMEA s Determining Causes & Effects Effect Effect Who should take the recommended action(s)? When should the action(s) start and finish? What effect may the failure have? Effect How could it fail? What may cause the failure? Mode of Failure Cause What process or system or controls are in place to identify or prevent a failure? FMEA-QFD-31 FMEA-QFD-32 Example - Headlamp Adjuster Example - Headlamp Adjuster Knob Insert Effect Screw Starlock washer Rubber washer Headlamp body Secures the insert and Rubber washer assembly into the headlamp body Falls off due Flips to reverse to reduced grip angle on insert Cracks Falls off due to reduced grip on insert Material too thin to support rubber Insert diameter too small to create correct locking angle 2 2 Proven principle Known design principle Washer inner Supplied diameter too big 2 proprietary item 1 16 Excessive assy force due to oversize insert dia Incorrect heat treatment specified 2 Known design principle proprietary item 3 48 Supplied FMEA-QFD-8

9 FMEA-QFD-33 Example - Ball-Point Pen Effect QFD stands for Quality Deployment FMEA-QFD-35 FMEA-QFD-36 What is QFD? QFD Purpose Translates the voice of the customer into the will of the enterprise. Customer s voice in the language of the customer Will of the enterprise in the technical language of design and manufacturing Translate consumer s voice into technical design requirements Determine & prioritize customer needs Translate customer needs to product design parameters Coordinate efforts and skills of an organization from a project s inception to its completion Cobe1 Ensure customer expectations Avoid manufacturing catastrophe FMEA-QFD-9

25 FMEA-QFD-89 FMEA-QFD-90 CA Weights The Competition? Customer attributes (preferences) are normally not equally important. Add weights to show relative importance CA s may conflict! Easy to close door Quickly closing window Heavier motor Weights allow CA s to be prioritized. How are we doing (or plan to do) relative to the competition? Market segmentation East coast Mid-west West coast Economy luxury FMEA-QFD-91 FMEA-QFD-92 Product Perceptual Map Engineering Characteristics-EC s Provides link between product concept and company s strategic vision. Customers (marketing) tell us what to do. Engineering tells us how to do it. Let the design team list the EC s that may affect the CA s. Some EC s may affect several CA s. EC s express how we plan to satisfy customer requirements (CA S). EC s should describe the product in measurable terms that directly affect CA s. FMEA-QFD-23

26 FMEA-QFD-93 FMEA-QFD-94 Creating the House of Quality Relationship Matrix FMEA-QFD-95 FMEA-QFD-96 Relationship Matrix Relationship Matrix Shows the relationship between the CA s and EC s.
