RFMEA Handout 1

The document outlines the 4 stages of a reverse FMEA process: Planning, Validating, Exploring, and Evolving. Each stage involves evaluating metrics, scrap issues, future activities, critical characteristics, and risk factors to continually improve the FMEA.

4 Stages of Reverse FMEA

Key:
A) Metrics
B) Scrap
C) Recommended Actions
D) Special Characteristics
E) Risk Prioritization

Planning
PERFORMED PRIOR TO THE REVERSE FMEA
A. Line’s metrics and historical performance
B. Top 3 scrap issues for the line
C. Future activities that will affect this line
D. Top Critical characteristics according to the current FMEA
E. Top risk factors in the current FMEA

Validating
PERFORMED AT THE LINE BEING EVALUATED
A. Performance metrics: Does the FMEA represent the performance on the floor?
B. Top scrap issues: Do the causes in the FMEA match the causes in line documentation.
C. Future activities: Do the action items reflect the implementation on the line and the current state of validation?
D. Top critical characteristics: Do the controls exist at the point of deployment?
E. Top risk factors: Are the prevention and detection controls in place at the point of implementation?

Exploring
PERFORMED BY OBSERVING THE STATION UNDER CONSIDERATION
A. Performance metrics: When comparing actual scrap present at the station, are there issues not included in the current FMEA?
B. Top scrap issues: Are there causes that must be added to the FMEA based on observation?
C. Future activities: Are there actions that lack validation or verification? Are there intervals that are not being checked?
D. Top critical characteristics: Have floor-level workers implemented controls that currently affect the FMEA?
E. Top risk factors: Are there current state issues that point to a lack of control for the FMEA?

Evolving
UPDATED AND LINKED IN THE APPROPRIATE SYSTEM-LEVEL PROCESSES
A. Performance metrics: Performance must be reflected in the FMEA for actual S, O, and D
B. Top scrap issues: Each cause must be present in the PFMEA
C. Future activities: Past due actions must be discussed. Unofficial actions that protect the line must be added to the FMEA and
categorized
D. Top critical characteristics: Controls added by the floor for proper performance must be added with appropriate change flows
E. Top risk factors: High-risk areas with current state diverging must be brought up to reality
