We are a supplier of a tier 1 and we provide an electronic part that is assembled in a telematic box. For the D-FMEA, our customer requests it to be done according to the AIAG Failure Mode and Effects Analysis manual.
In fact, the layout of our FMEA is a bit different from the AIAG template; and we have chosen, based on experience, to use only 5 levels for ranking criteria, not 10, even though they have the exact same definition.
I already have tried once to explain that this way of working fits our needs and have no effect on the D-FMEA quality but our customer wants to have it done by the book.
Has anybody experienced the same kind of problem and can give me some clues?
More generally, in the automotive industry today are the AIAG document (FMEA, PPAP, SPC, MSA, APQP) only guidelines that can be tuned for specific use or mandatory requirements?
