PFMEA Benefits: Preventing

By performing a PFMEA, companies can prevent problems, improve quality and reduce costs. A PFMEA identifies potential failures in a process and their effects. This allows companies to focus on preventing failures rather than reacting to problems. Conducting a PFMEA involves identifying the process to analyze, listing potential failure modes and their effects, then determining actions to address high priority failures. Listing effects helps evaluate the severity of failures. Overall, a PFMEA is an effective tool to improve process performance and efficiency.

PFMEA Benefits

By Preventing errors or problems


You prevent waste, improve quality and cycle-times, and reduce costs !
You can effectively Prevent
rework, retest, re-inspection, poor quality, higher costs, etc.

It costs companies less to prevent problems than to react to them (Firefighting = Dollars Wasted) You can improve Cycle-times
Time, Labor, and money is more effectively spent on preventing rather than reacting to errors

PFMEAs make teams more effective!


Process Failure Modes Effects Analysis

How do we perform a PFMEA?


#1: Identify the process or product that requires the PFMEA Analysis Recommended: New processes being launched

Business, transaction, service, or manufacturing process


Current processes with poor yields, rework, errors, defects, poor cycle-times, high costs, high customer dissatisfaction, etc.
