Mike, I'm glad to hear that your training on PFMEA worked out. Its not a simple topic, and the goal is not for your whole team to be Failure Mode Effects Analysis experts but rather to think about risks and then continually address the highest risks in a continual improvement cycle. Giving them a simple example as you did for "failures associated with making breakfast" was genius!

Trained organization brings drawings of their product, creates process flow, match process step (function) with requirement - product characteristics defined on product drawing.
Alternatively gets ballpoint, designs its assembling process and quess what could go wrong in this process?
I've seen both PFMEA trainings - ballpoint and e.g. engine mounting based .
Often after training, trainees couldn't transform ballpoint analysis into engine mounting one.

Then I've seen a lot of PFMEA where product drawing was not used.
We have also examples of pure pathology, when Quality department member (engineer, manager) shares self-prepared list of product characteristics, which need to be included in control plan. skipping PFMEA.
