FMEA Applicability
I faced this problem when I was doing process FMEA for an electronic component.
The product has to be checked 100% for its inductance, resistance and high voltage values before dispatch to customer. As per my understanding, Process FMEA is done with the intent to prevent the process based failure modes prior to the production run. It is done to anticipate and resolve process monitor problems which could lead to a deviation from the design requirements.
However, in this particular case, doing FMEA and improving the processes do not really help in reducing / eliminating the 100 % inspection, as the 100% check for inductance, resistance, etc., in an auto test equipment (highly sophisticated) is a customer specific requirement.
Therefore, the supplier feels that doing process FMEA in this particular case will remain a mere paper work and not going to help in reducing his inspection efforts.
Welcome your views.
