FMEA Tutorial Lesson 2: FMEA Supporting Tools: Root Cause Identification, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)- Root Cause Identification - Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Timing For Applying The FMEA Quality Tools Legend D/PFMEA – Design/Process FMEA FTA – Fault Tree Analysis DOE – Design of Experiments SPC – Stat. Process Control Poka Yoke – Japanese for mistake-proofing All of the tools, whether they are used in the context of concurrent development or not, should be applied based on the Voice of the Customer (VOC). The first VOC priority is from the external customer. Also important is the VOC of the internal customer. Note the typical timing for the tool usage. Also see the Legend at the bottom for a definition of the acronyms. FMEA and FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) will be covered in this course. Note the use of D/PFMEA as soon as possible in the Product Design and Process Design phases, respectively. Design of Experiments (DOE) should also be used in both phases. FMEA is most effective when other tools are applied at the right time in order to provide the best input to include in the FMEA. This is not a complete list; there are many other tools which can and should be used throughout the product and product development processes. Copyright © 2000-2010 Michael G. White.
