Hello all,
We are implementing a DFMEA base on new AIAG-VDA FMEA Handbook on a gearbox part, namely “gears 1&2 Fork”. The part picture is s follows:
This part is an element of a gear change sub-system in a gearbox system.
The part has a functional drawing which defines the layout of the part and some endurance tests and their expected results.
we completed steps 2 and 3 of the DFMEA form as follows:
My questions are:
1. Is it allowed to leave columns 1 and 3 blank in structure analysis or function analysis sections when we are implementing DFMEA for a component? (only filling Focus element columns)
2. What is the meaning of characteristic type in column 3 (Next lower level or characteristic type) of structure analysis section?
3. What is the meaning of characteristic in column 3 (3.Next lower level function and requirement or Characteristic) of structure analysis section? Is it different from Requirement?
Thanks all.
