FMEA Facilitator
Overview
The FMEA Facilitator skill provides comprehensive capabilities for facilitating Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. It supports both Design FMEA (DFMEA) and Process FMEA (PFMEA), risk prioritization using RPN or AP methodology, and control plan integration.
Capabilities
- DFMEA (Design) facilitation
- PFMEA (Process) facilitation
- Severity/Occurrence/Detection scoring
- RPN (Risk Priority Number) calculation
- Action priority determination
- Control plan integration
- Recommended action tracking
- FMEA revision management
Used By Processes
- QMS-005: FMEA Facilitation
- SIX-005: Root Cause Analysis
- QMS-001: ISO 9001 Implementation

FMEA Process
Step 1: Planning and Preparation
- Define scope
- Assemble team
- Gather process flow
- Review similar FMEAs
Step 2: Structure Analysis
- Identify process steps
- Define functions
- Establish requirements
Step 3: Function Analysis
- Identify failure modes
- Determine effects
- Identify causes
Step 4: Failure Analysis
- Rate Severity
- Rate Occurrence
- Rate Detection
- Calculate risk
Step 5: Risk Analysis
- Prioritize risks
- Identify high-priority items
- Develop recommended actions
Step 6: Optimization
- Implement actions
- Reassess risk
- Update FMEA
Severity, Occurrence, Detection Scales
Severity (S) - Effect on customer
| Rating | Criteria |
|---|
| 10 | Safety hazard without warning |
| 9-10 | Safety or regulatory compliance |
| 7-8 | High customer impact |
| 4-6 | Moderate impact |
| 2-3 | Minor impact |
| 1 | No effect |
Occurrence (O) - Frequency of cause
| Rating | Frequency |
|---|
| 10 | Very high (>100/1000) |
| 7-8 | High (20-50/1000) |
| 4-6 | Moderate (2-10/1000) |
| 2-3 | Low (<1/1000) |
| 1 | Remote (<0.01/1000) |
Detection (D) - Ability to detect
| Rating | Detection Method |
|---|
| 10 | No detection method |
| 7-8 | Low probability of detection |
| 4-6 | Moderate detection |
| 2-3 | High detection probability |
| 1 | Certain detection |
AIAG-VDA Action Priority (AP)
| AP Level | Action Required |
|---|
| High | Must take action |
| Medium | Should take action |
| Low | Could take action |
