FAILURE MODE AND EFFECT ANALYSIS(FMEA)
FMEA is also known as Failure mode, effect & critical
analysis(FMECA).
Failure mode & Effect analysis is a group of activities
intended to “recognize & evaluate the potential
failure of a product or process and its effect before
the product/ service being produced & used,
identify actions that could eliminate or reduce the
chances of potential failures and lastly documenting
the process.

FMEA is an analytical technique that
combines the technology & Experience of the
people in identifying foreseeable failures
modes of a product or process and planning
for its elimination. It is “Before-an-Event”
action requiring a team effort to easily and
Inexpensive effect changes in design and
production.

FMEA is categorized in broadly 3 systems and
they are:
1. Failure mode analysis
2. Failure effect analysis
3. Failure criticality analysis

FAILURE MODE ANALYSIS
It is analyzing the operations of the
product or process to foresee, what are
the most likely modes where the failure
would occur. This would include the
components involved, describing the
components involved, the time,
locations and many more.

FAILURE EFFECT ANALYSIS
It is study of the potential failure to
ascertain the likely impact on the
performance of the whole product, the
process or service and related
elements.

7. By Prof. Raghavendran V
FAILURE CRITICALITY ANALYSIS
It is study of the criticality or intensity of
potential failures of the product, process
or service. The criticality may range
from customer irritation to catastrophic
occurrence.

FMEA DOCUMENTATION
Block Diagram is very much needed to
understand physical attributes of the product.
The Documentation of FMEA consists:
FMEA number
Item
Design responsibility
Prepared by
Model number/year
Key date
FMEA Date
Core Team

TYPES OF FMEA’S
They are:
Design FMEA,
Process FMEA,
Concept FMEA,
Maintenance FMEA,
System FMEA,
Environmental FMEA,
Service FMEA.

BENEFITS OF FMEA
Systematic review of component failures.
Determining the effects that any failure will have
on other items in the product or process and
their functions.
Determining those parts of the product or
process whose failure will have critical effect or
impact on product or process.
Helping uncover oversights, misjudgments and
errors that may have been made.
Helping reduce development time and cost of
manufacturing process.

QUALITY FUNCTIONAL DEPLOYMENT
It is invented by Dr. Mizuno, professor of Tokyo
institute of technology. It is planning tool
which can be applied to any organization to
fulfill customer expectations.
It focuses on customers expectations or need,
often referred to as customer’s voice. It is
team based tool in which customer needs
are the driving force for the product
development process. Conflicting needs are
identified early in QFD Process and can be
resolved before production. 13
14. QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT
A systematic method for transferring
customer wants/needs/expectations
into product and process
characteristics
15. QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT
Quality Function Deployment
Voice of the customer
House of Quality
QFD: An approach that integrates the “voice of the
customer” into the product and service
development process.
16. By Prof. Raghavendran V
QUALITY FUNCTIONAL DEPLOYMENT
QFD employed to translate customers
expectations, in terms of specific
requirements, into directions & actions, in
terms of engineering or technical
characteristics, that can be employed
through:
Product Planning
Part Development
Process Planning
Production Planning
Services
16

QFD TEAM
There are two types of teams
1. One is existing team with fewer members
2. Other team composed of marketing, design,
quality, finance and product.

18. By Prof. Raghavendran V
BENEFITS OF QFD
Improves customer satisfaction
Focus on requirement
competitive information
prioritizes resources
Identifies items that can be acted upon
Reduces implementation time
Decrease midstream design changes
Limits production problems
Avoid future redundancies
Identifies future application opportunities
18
19. By Prof. Raghavendran V
BENEFITS OF QFD
Promotes team work
Based on consensus
Creates communication at surfaces
Identifies actions at interfaces
Create global views of details
Provides documentation
Documents rationale for design
Is easy to assimilate
Adapts to changes
Provides framework to sensitivity analysis

HOUSE OF QUALITY
The primary planning tool used in QFD is the
House Of Quality.
HoQ translates voice of customers into design
requirements that meet specific targets.
Managers and Engineers consider the house
of quality to be primary chart in quality
planning
20
21. By Prof. Raghavendran V
HOUSE OF QUALITY’S PART DESCRIPTION:
1) The exterior walls of the house are the
customer requirements. On the left side is a
listing of the voice of customer. On right side
are prioritized customer requirements.
2) The ceiling shows technical descriptors,
consistency of the product is provided by
engineering characteristics, design
constraints and parameters.
21
22. By Prof. Raghavendran V
HOUSE OF QUALITY’S PART DESCRIPTION:
3) The interior walls are relationship between
customer requirements and technical
descriptors. Customers expectations
(requirements) are translated into
engineering characteristics (technical
descriptors).
4) The roof is the interrelationship between the
technical descriptors.
5) The foundation or base is known as
prioritized technical descriptors. 22
