Process FMEA Ratings – Deepening The Understanding

Presented in conjunction with ASQ’s Risk & Reliability Division, this webinar explains how to assign ratings (Severity, Occurrence & Detection) in a Process FMEA as well as the following:

  • Most popular FMEA manuals in publication provide incorrect information on how to set the occurrence ratings in the Process FMEA
  • The importance of the Class column in the Process FMEA
  • Why design engineers should NEVER specify “Special Characteristics” for a Process FMEA
  • How to use the Process FMEA to prioritize what to work on
  • How to use the Process FMEA to determine when a process should be released
  • What the new AIAG VDA Action Priority (AP) Rating for the Process FMEA is and why it does not work
  • What the new AIAG VDA FMEA ratings systems for the Process FMEA is and why the effectiveness of your Process FMEAs will suffer

Numerous examples are provided, including a medical device FMEA.
