PFMEAs and Inspection Process
The PFMEA only applies to to the mfg processes. Does your feasibility analysis include problem solving for processes? If so, then those problem areas that have been solved will show up as low RPN numbers on the PFMEA.Although not required, IMO, it is best to address each step of the process during when preparing FMEA.

I agree with you Sam, PFMEA should be evaluated on a value added process (e.g. Manufacturing Process)...According to its concept "Before- Event" Right? But my CB
asking for "Inspection Process" too...
That was make me confused how to idendify the "Detection" number (Detection Performance of faulty detection)...I think it doesn't make sense to applies PFMEA on Inspection Process.
Sam or anybody, please advice me the referenced documents which clearly identify that "PFMEA shall (or should) be applied on only Manufacturing Process".
Will be greatly appreciate.
