Learning Objectives

Understand why we use Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Summarize the different types of FMEAs

Learn how to link the FMEA to other LSS tools

Learn the steps necessary to work through an FMEA

Complete an exercise to create an FMEA

4Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Unintended Consequences

For any new or redesigned process…

Your solution has to be aligned with your organization’s strategic and tactical goals in order to yield benefits that will be judged significant

You want to know about any unintended consequences or problems related to your solution before you implement or promote it

Awareness of potential difficulties will allow you to prevent or mitigate the effects of any failure

You want to minimize any “start up” problems and move to full implementation in the shortest possible time

5Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Risk Management

Any significant issues identified in the FMEA must then beaddressed by taking:

Preventive Action

Steps that reduce the likelihood of a problem occurring at all

Focused on reducing/eliminating root causes prior to occurrence

Contingent Action

Measures implemented to limit the damage caused by a potential problem should it occur

Focused on achieving the goal in spite of difficulties

We can mistake proof our new or revised processes by proactively focusing on the “meaningful many”….

6Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Example: Risk Management

Pizza Delivery Process

Task – Assign a van to each delivery driver

Potential Problem – Not enough drivers with vehicles to meet order demand (due to less flexibility in moving drivers to vehicles)

Preventive Action – Review volume patterns and match staff/vehicle schedules to ensure adequate coverage/capacity

Contingent Action – Identify “on-call” delivery staff and short-term vehicle rentals for expected or unexpected demand spikes (e.g., Super bowl)

Alarm – Delivery times >28 minutes and/or driver/vehicle shortages

Use FMEA in Analyze to find potential

causes of a problem and evaluate from a

risk perspective

7Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

FMEA

Stands for Failure Modes and Effects Analysis.

FMEA is a structured approach to: Identifying the areas and ways in which a process or system can

fail (failure mode)

Identifying potential root causes and estimating the risk associated with theses causes

Identifying and prioritizing the actions that should be taken to reduce those risks

Evaluating and documenting proposed improvement plans or current control plans

FMEA is used to identify and reduce risk, and therefore unintended consequences, in the problem solving process

8Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

When to Conduct an FMEA

When existing designs or processes are being changed

When new systems, products and processes are being designed.

When carry-over designs are used in new applications

After system, product or process functions are defined, but before beginning detailed final design

When the improvement idea has been decided

11Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

FMEA Procedure

1. For each process step (start with steps that give highest value from C&E Matrix) determine the ways in which the input to the step or the function of the step can go wrong (failure mode)

2. For each failure mode, determine effects

Select a severity rating for each effect (1-10 scale)

Any failure with a severity rating of 9 or 10 should be worked immediately

3. Identify potential causes of each failure mode

Select an occurrence rating for each cause (1-10 scale)

4. List current monitoring and controls for each cause

Select a detection rating for each cause (1-10 scale)

12Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

FMEA Procedure (Cont.)

5. Calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN) by multiplying the 3 ratings together (Max Score = 1000)

6. In the Improve phase, develop recommended actions, assign responsible persons, and note actions taken.

Prioritize so the highest RPNs are addressed first

Some level of risk may be accepted and no action is taken on RPNs below an established limit

7. Implement solutions from the first round of actions, create a re-prioritized FMEA and analyze for further necessary action

15Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Severity, Occurrence, and Detection

Severity

Importance of the effect on customer requirements

Often can’t do anything about this without fundamentally changing the system or design

Occurrence

Frequency with which a given cause occurs and creates failure modes (or probability it will occur)

Detection

The ability of the current monitoring and control method to detect before or after occurrence of a given cause

16Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Rating Scales and RPN

Rating formats can be quantitative or qualitative

The rating scales provided in this module were adopted from the Automotive Industry Action Group, AIAG – may need to be adjusted for transactional or service CPI projects

Typically:

1 = Not severe, not likely to occur or likely to detect

10 = Very severe, very likely to occur or not likely to detect

RPN is a product of the severity, occurrence and detection ratings:(Severity) x (Occurrence) x (Detection) = RPN (maximum of 1000)

A customized rating scale may be created or the RPN level at which action is taken may be adjusted for your particular organization

Exercise: Prepare an FMEA

Objective

Create an FMEA for the GGA's Budget Department

Instructions

Select one process step critical to improving the Primary Y

Complete the FMEA through the first RPN calculation

Sort by RPN to determine critical Xs for further analysis

Be prepared to report results to the group

Time = 20 Minutes
