I have a process risk assement in which I have fields "PROCESS EXCURSION" and "FAILURE MODE". I had to covert it to the new format which have fields "FAILURE MODE" and "FAILURE MODE CAUSE".
I am confused in understanding Process excursion and failure mode cause. How should input he information in new format from the old process risk assessment?
The instructions in the new format states that Failure mode cause categories include, but are not limited to:
Machine
Material
Man
Measurement
Method
Environment (Mother Nature)
Example from old Process risk assessment:
1. Process excursion: Incorrect program
Failure mode: Leak not detected
2. Process excursion: Incorrect pressure - too low
Failure mode: Leak not detected
3. Process excursion: Part A not seated properly on Part B
Failure mode: Inadequate bond -Bond failure
4. Process excursion: Missing / too little/ expired/ inadequate cure / wrong adhesive in the part A and B
Failure mode: Inadequate bond -Bond failure
5. Process excursion: Stop cock opened too fast/suddenly
Failure mode: welds damage
6. Process excursion: Stop cock already opened before starting the test
Failure mode: welds damage
In example 3 and 4 the parts are same, the process is the apply adhesive and then place one part onto another.
I will really appreciate if being explained in simple wordings. Thank you.
