Ford Campaign Prevention Method is a process defined for critical suppliers in terms of design and impact on safety and recalls. Its basic a follow up, like deep dive, during the
DFMEA and
PFMEA deployment. I would say (70% DFMEA and 30% PFMEA). Is a end to end process, that start in early design phase and finished with first prototypes and production rump up, with “fresh eyes reviews” audits.
A specialist, called campaign prevention leader, is the process drive. He challenger supplier, take in consideration all safety / recall history issues. Any point, regarding the design that does not prevent against a know quality issue, that the specialist does not validate, is not acceptable and a design changes must take place.
