PFMEA (process FMEA) for Incoming Material stage

[riosimbolon]

Dear friends
on my PFMEA-incoming, we analyze source problem which related in our activities only, such as: handling when unloading, how to used handlift or forklift so the material not drop, how to keep the material protected from humidity or dust...etc

problem from supplier such as problem thickness material, different quantity, or not good quality incoming product, type of those problem are not categorized in our PFMEA because those caused in supplier.
What do you think about our opinion...and what kind concept problem should be evaluated in incoming area?

Thanks

Looks perfectly ok to me. Hope you also review Supplier's PFMEA.

Good for you! Your PFMEA should address only those variables that your organization controls. There are other ways of addressing supplier issues.

Yes, your PFMEA should only address things you can control.

Hi Jim & all,
I fully agree with your statement & often argue this point , I am looking for recognized body back up for this, would you know of any ?

I don't know of any in particular, although the AIAG FMEA manual probably addresses it at least implicitly. What sense is there in addressing things you have no control over?

Take a look at page 68 of the Introduction paragraph. AIAG PFMEA 4th edition
