Video 5: DFMEA Step 5 Risk Analysis

This lesson focuses on Risk Analysis where the team estimates the risk level by evaluating Severity Occurrence and Detection using the new handbook rating tables. It highlights the transition to the Action Priority logic which categorizes risks as High Medium or Low and details how to assess current prevention and detection controls to assign accurate scores to the design.

You will learn how to differentiate between prevention controls that reduce the likelihood of a cause and detection controls that find the failure before it reaches the customer. You will gain an understanding of how to apply the specific criteria for scoring and how to determine the Action Priority for each risk to effectively prioritize which design elements require immediate improvement.
