Video: FMEA Steps 2 & 3)
Structure & Function Analysis

FMEA Video

Topics in this Video

• Overview — 0:00

  Primary training page related to this video: FMEA training

• How this template differs — 1:30

  from AIAG v4 — video: innovations

  RPN codes replaced with Action Priority codes

  Very clear 7-Step path

  Steps 1 and 2 are much more clearly defined

  from AIAG v5 — Systems2win differences

  Left to right workflow

  Space effective

  For all industries (not just North American and European automotive supply chain)

• Structure Analysis - before you touch the template — 3:50

  Inter-relationships between FMEA's

  Essential and optional related documents for DFMEA and PFMEA

  Essential: DFMEA - Boundary Diagram
  PFMEA - Process Flow Diagram

• Structure Analysis - Parent, and then Step or Item — 11:00

  Watch the video for Repeat Data and Error-Checking

• Function To Parent Level — 16:00

  What is this item or service supposed to deliver?

  What is this process Step supposed to do?

• Requirement of Step or Item — 17:00

  Measurable parameters, specifications, or characteristics that the Function must deliver.

• Structure Analysis - Requirement From Lower Level Child — 17:45

  ID (optional) Cross reference number to lower-level related documents, such as Process Flow Diagram, drawings, sketches. Hide column if not used.

  Rather than the wasted space and confusion of an extra column in the Structure Analysis section for 'Lower Level Child', you can accomplish the same thing by always specifying the 'Child' as the first word(s) in each cell for 'Requirement from Lower Level'.

  And then (if you ever care) to Filter by Child, you can Filter by 'Begins With'.

  For a DFMEA, Functions and Requirements are derived from your Boundary Block Diagram and Interface Matrix.

  For a PFMEA, Functions and Requirements are derived from your Process Flow Diagram.
