There is a growing pressure due to competition to improve the quality and reduce the cost. Preventive Quality is the technique to combat this pressure. One of the best tools used in preventive quality is Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA).
"Failure modes" means the ways, or modes, in which a process might fail. "Effects analysis" refers to studying the consequences of those failures.
Failure modes and effects analysis also documents current knowledge and actions about the risks of failures, for use in continuous improvement. FMEA is used during design to prevent failures. Later it’s used for control, before and during ongoing operation of the process.
Here in our solution we are going to enter the process details, occurrence and detection details to calculate the RPN number automatically.
Keeping this RPN number as reference we can take action accordingly. If RPN number is more then we have to take action to reduce it.
Purpose : Take actions to eliminate or reduce failures, starting with the highest-priority ones.
