What is a PFMEA and how does it work?

A Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) can be used to assess any process. The most common use of the PFMEA involves manufacturing processes. The facilitator, usually the system safety/reliability engineer, supports the team by enhancing process consistency and asking, 'What can possibly go wrong with this process/test?'

What is process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA)?

Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) is a method used to identify and evaluate risks and possible errors in each step of a manufacturing or production process.

When should a PFMEA be performed?

A Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis (PFMEA) should be performed when there's a failure in a process. Conducting a PFMEA can significantly reduce risks and improve processes. While it doesn't need to be performed regularly for every process throughout the company, it's crucial in certain instances.

What is a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)?

A Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a process to identify equipment failures and potential breakdowns. Unlike a traditional FMEA, a Process FMEA (PFMEA) examines the manufacturing process as a whole, including purchasing raw materials, storage, manufacturing, assembly, packaging, and shipping.

What is the detection ranking in PFMEA?

In Process FMEA (PFMEA), the detection ranking determines the ability of specific tests to confirm that failure modes / causes are eliminated.

Is PFMEA a one-time activity?

The PFMEA is not a one-time activity but a continuous process. As changes are made to address high-risk failure modes, the PFMEA should be updated to reflect the current state of the process. Over time, this will lead to a more robust and efficient operation. With the priorities set, the team must now take action.
