Video 3: Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis PFMEA
About this lesson
This lesson explains the purpose and practical application of Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) as a proactive risk reduction tool. You will learn how investing time in PFMEA helps prevent field failures, reduce recalls, and improve overall customer satisfaction.
The session also emphasizes the importance of keeping PFMEA “live” by continuously updating it based on internal and external failure data. It highlights how PFMEA outputs feed directly into the Control Plan and connect with other Core Tools such as Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and PPAP.
