Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in Design (Design FMEA), Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in Manufacturing and Assembly Processes (Process FMEA)
This FMEA Standard describes Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in Design (DFMEA) and Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in Manufacturing and Assembly Processes (PFMEA). It assists users in the identification and mitigation of risk by providing appropriate terms, requirements, ranking charts, and worksheets. As a Standard, this document contains requirements “must” and recommendations “should” to guide the user through the FMEA process. The FMEA process and documentation must comply with this Standard as well as any corporate policy concerning this Standard. Documented rationale and agreement with the customer is necessary for deviations in order to justify new work or changed methods during customer or third-party audit reviews.
Rationale
Widespread use of design and process FMEA is a benefit to consumers and manufacturers. The application of FMEA has been in place in the automotive industry since the late 1960’s with emphasis on standard ranking criteria and forms since the early 1990’s. The FMEA methodology has proven itself useful in the prevention and mitigation of potential failure modes. However, a growing need developed for improved failure mode ranking criteria and a change in thinking about the use of the Risk Priority Number (RPN). This standard includes updated ranking charts and de-emphasizes the use of an RPN threshold as the primary factor in determining preventive or corrective action efforts. It also includes a Boundary Diagram and Process Flow Diagram example as use of these tools has increased. The section for Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis for Machinery (Machinery FMEA) is a form of Design FMEA and has been removed. Machinery FMEA is a type of Design FMEA for equipment. There are numerous books, reference manuals and training references on the subject of FMEA. This standard serves as a common starting point for the development of an effective DFMEA and PFMEA.
The SAE Automotive Quality and Process Improvement Committee prepares and maintains Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports on quality-related topics, including durability, reliability, and maintainability for the automotive industry. This committee interfaces with other SAE committees as well as other technical societies, international standards organizations, relevant automotive trade associations, and/or government agencies to provide for global standardization where appropriate and to avoid duplication of effort.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
