.. unless the FMEA is broken down unto every little motion to complete a task.... that would be a super cumbersome FMEA, like doing a full FMEA for picking up a pen and signing your name.
Maybe the person that created the FMEA template based it on a Time/Motion study template and just didn't delete that column?
wow. just wow. do you know who created the form and what they were thinking?
Well if the column's sequence is like
Step# | Step | Therblig Motion | Failure Mode...
then I think there might be a sense to it but only for very specific purposes.
Like when motion accuracy is success critical. It means the operation is very minute and detailed though. Like eye-surgery level of necessary precision.
