Hi All
In my "former life" I worked in the automotive industry and in that sector the DFMEA was led by a design engineer and the PFMEA by a process engineer. Obviously quality played a major role in the team in both cases and the team was made up of people from various disciplines.
I now work in the body armour business and a customer requirement is that we create both a DFMEA and PFMEA. My MD has decided that FMEA's are a quality led function and that I should champion this.
My question is "Is this best practice?" I would have thought the best and most knowledgeable person to lead DFMEA is a design engineer and PFMEA a process engineer. Am I wrong or have I just had it easy for a while?!!
Irrespective of this I have to complete both FMEA's in two days......on my own!!!!
Your comments would be appreciated.
