Hi,

What are the differences between the Ford FMEA methodoloy and the AIAG FMEA methodology?

Unfortunately we have no access to the Ford FMEA Handbook otherwise I would read it myself. Where can I get it (we are not a suppliers for Ford)? An electronic version would be enough.

Have a look at this post that has an order form attached. The Ford FMEA handbook is copyright-protected, and can't be posted here.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your answer. I saw that post before, but the time until I have to answer a customer request is too short to order it.

What are the differences in the FMEA methodology?

I just need some hints to make a statement whether FORD conforming FMEAs can be created with our software.

Kira,

From what I have seen in the Ford FMEA manual is that it is based on the AIAG version with Ford additions. The Ford FMEA manual provides more details and is more specific in the various aspects of FMEA.

What software do you use?

If you look in the same thread where the post I linked to is, I think someone listed the table of contents of the Ford handbook. If you're not a Ford supplier, why would your customer expect you to have the handbook? Have you asked if they have one they could give you?

Hi,

Thanks for your answers. We are a supplier of a CAQ system called BabtecCAQ with an FMEA module. Since a lot of our customers are suppliers to the automotive industry, some of them are suppliers to Ford. Now one of them asks whether our software can be used for a Ford FMEA. To answer this question (until tomorrow) I depend on some detailed information regarding the differences in methodology.

Kira,

The "Ford FMEA" methodology is not different than the AIAG version.
For example, the FMEA form is exactly the same.

An example of a DFMEA difference:

Item/Function.

The example provided in the AIAG version is fairly generic.
However, in the Ford manual, Item/Function descriptions should be stated in objective, measurable terms. Ford believes that if the item can not be measured, it cannot fail. (My words).

There's obviously more, but without the FORD manual, it would be difficult for you to determine the "differences."

Bottom line: the FMEA process itself is not different.

The Ford handbook I have completely fills a 3 inch binder. So size is the first difference.

That said, as far as I can tell, it does not impose anything different from the AIAG version. There are a lot more examples and it is a training tool.

In my opinion it is worth the money to get hold of a copy. They worked hard on it and it is a good resource. There is also training offered which some of our people have attended and they came back very skilled indeed.

You should be OK with the AIAG format.
