As a special machine tool (assembly and test equipment) provider, Daimler-Chrysler has requested us to be part of their PFMEA creation. We have done so as we have found it value added when later designing our machines (simplifying, reducing costs, etc.) and performing our machinery FMEA. For example, we may suggest integrating a particular process step into one of our machines. They become more efficient. We make more money. To borrow a tired phrase, it's win-win.
I guess you just have to justify the expense in some way or another.
Sorry to dredge this back up (not even sure how I ran across it ),but I just have to say that if my customer expects me to sort out the failures of his process, he's going to be paying a "pretty penny" for that "service".
