Inside the Manual |
Guidelines for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis for Automotive, Aerospace and General Manufacturing Industries contains 22 chapters plus a glossary and a suggested reading list, as described in the following annotated table of contents:
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the contents of the publication.
Chapter 2 reviews Quality system regulations and specifications associated with the automotive, aerospace and general manufacturing industries for the purpose of identifying the requirements for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis and Control Plans in the Product Quality Cycle. The intent of this chapter is to provide the readers with a general overview of the regulatory requirements related to the above-mentioned industries in the United States and in Europe.
Chapter 3 reviews the current industry specific standards and technical specifications that provide guidelines for performing FMEA.
Chapter 4 briefly describes the essence of risk management planning.
Chapter 5 gives an overview of Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), which are risk analysis techniques commonly used in the automotive, aerospace and general manufacturing industries as alternatives to Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
Chapter 6 This chapter is an introduction to Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). It outlines the objectives of FMEA, reasons and benefits of performing FMEA and the limitations of the technique.
Chapter 7 describes the basic terminology and process used in FMEA. In addition, the procedures for setting up, conducting and following up FMEA are described.
Chapter 8 describes the responsibilities of FMEA team members and the facilitator/team leader.
Chapter 9 gives an overview of tools commonly used with FMEA, including process flowcharts, block diagrams and Pareto charts.
Chapter 10 describes some major pitfalls that can arise while conducting FMEA studies.
Chapter 11 outlines the application of FMEA at various stages in a product's life cycle. It also introduces the use of Control Plans as a tool to document the design and process characteristics required for the manufacturing of an item/component or system.
Chapter 12 describes the objectives of Product/Design FMEA (D-FMEA), recommended team members and recommended information to be included in the FMEA worksheet. It also provides rating guidelines for severity, occurrence and detection.
Chapter 13 describes the objectives of Process FMEA (P-FMEA), recommended team members and recommended information to be included in the FMEA worksheet. It also provides rating guidelines for severity, occurrence and detection.
Chapter 14 describes the objectives of Machinery FMEA (M-FMEA), recommended team members and recommended information to be included in the FMEA worksheet. It also provides rating guidelines for severity, occurrence and detection.
Chapter 15 describes the objectives of Application FMEA (A-FMEA), recommended team members and recommended information to be included in the FMEA worksheet. It also provides rating guidelines for severity, occurrence and detection.
Chapter 16 describes the objectives of Service FMEA (S-FMEA), recommended team members and recommended information to be included in the FMEA worksheet. It also provides rating guidelines for severity, occurrence and detection.
Chapter 17 provides an overview of Hardware and Software FMEA.
Chapter 18 provides a brief overview of Failure Mode Ratios, Failure Equivalence Numbers and process variation indices.
Chapter 19 provides an overview of Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), including the terminology and the worksheets used in the analysis for both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
Chapter 20 describes the required steps to be taken after the completion of the FMEA.
Chapter 21 provides a brief overview of Advanced Quality Planning (AQP) and Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and the use of FMEA in quality planning.
Chapter 22 provides an overview of Control Plans and Dynamic Control Plans and their elements.
Chapter 23 provides and overview of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) analysis and related topics.
