Re: How to handle incoming inspection as a PFMEA item?
I think the incoming inspection shall be included in p-FMEA as per AIAG Blu Book guidelines and ISO TS requirements.
P-FMEA is not only referred to Manufacturing process but to the entire process flow that shall also include Incoming and Shipping as well.
Besided, you shall ensure that the control plan is stricly linked to p-FMEA. If not, this could be seen as a failure of QMS.
You are right, incoming inspection is not required to include in the FMEA, if you want to include the transportation and loading and unloading at receiving stage for transit damages as failure mode and to analyse the current process controls of transportation and loading and unloading is sufficient or not then only you need to add these processes, i.e, loading and unloading and transportation at receiving stage.
