Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an analytical methodology used to ensure that potential problems have been considered and addressed throughout the product and process development process. Part of the evaluation and analysis is the assessment of risk. FMEA is the most commonly used risk analysis method in the automotive and aerospace industries, and helps manufacturers and suppliers to predict and prevent failures in both the product development and part production processes.

In the Automotive industry, OEMs (US and Europe) have harmonized their regional FMEA manuals into an international guide on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The revised handbook represents the culmination of a four-year project updating the FMEA process for automotive suppliers. The project was a joint effort between OEMs and Tier 1 supplier members of the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) and Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA), Germany’s association for automotive manufacturers and suppliers. The result is one common foundation for FMEAs across all global automotive sectors represented by AIAG and VDA.

In addition to making it easier for suppliers to meet their customers’ needs during the FMEA development process, the handbook features major changes such as a new process for FMEA development – the 7-Step Approach. Important changes include the following:

• Totally revised Severity, Occurrence and Detection Tables.
• The Action Priority (AP) methodology and Tables to replace RPN.
• New Form Sheets (spreadsheet users) and Software Report Views (software users).
• Change point highlights from both the AIAG 4th edition FMEA Manual and the VDA Volume 4 FMEA Manual.
