Failure Modes & Effective Analysis And Continuous Improvement

摘要: Failure Modes & Effective Analysis (FMEA) is a design tool which has been used to improve the quality of product and process design, leverage production experience into other areas achieve continuous improvement for already in manufacture. FMEA will be briefly described characterized order provide common frame reference discussion. Key practices support include formation cross- functional teams, empowerment, project planning. The archival power closely reviewed as productivity multiplier. It show how can broadly track program improvements place them customer sensitive context. In addition, examples derived from actual semiconductor applications presented discussed gain better insight link between improvement. Another point emphasis difficulties encountered while implementing this engineering tool. A theme successful enterprises drive Whatever "best-in-class'' today being copied by less formidable competitors one's main rivals are leaping next generation technology. enterprise always looking new, better, quicker, costly ways getting job done. Today's industry prima facie example "survival fittest" principle at work. Effect gaining recognition electronics manufacturing. an advanced planning methodology form structured brainstorming allows problems dissected broken down series smaller, more manageable bites. Customer communication key element process, thus assuring requirements define acceptable level performance. There distinctions within FMEA. Design examines intent or service. Process seeks out possible sources variation manufacture predetermined design. starts with "clean sheet" paper known manufacturing capabilities, so that end exactly matches requirements. looks things might go wrong vary identifies corrective and/or containment actions each potential condition. As result FMEA, scrutinized robust manufactured completely process. (1)
