The checklist covers Design FMEA (DFMEA) and Process FMEA (PFMEA), addressing both product design and manufacturing process risks.
The checklist should be used at the beginning of new product development projects, during significant design or process changes, and periodically for existing products and processes.
A cross-functional team including design engineers, process engineers, quality specialists, and manufacturing representatives should be involved in the FMEA process and checklist review.
By ensuring a thorough FMEA process, potential failure modes are identified and addressed early, reducing the likelihood of field failures and associated warranty costs.
Yes, the FMEA Implementation Checklist can be integrated with other AIAG Core Tools like APQP and PPAP, as well as broader quality management systems like IATF 16949.
