I have a supplier who supplies a brake component to me as a complete assembly.
We recently have had failures. The reason give for the failure were a sub-suppliers part failed.
The reason/root cause given for the individual part failure was an out of specification radius and low heat treat.
The radius was only slightly out of spec and the heat treat was 1 point (RC 35 min. actual RC 34) out of spec.
Since these two features seem to be very crucial and sensitive to the assemblies performance, should these two features severity be really high on the PFMEA and would it be advised to add these two features to the control plan as significant feature or at least some other special Char. class?
