Does TS16949 requires ALL production processing steps be included and studied in the PFMEA ?
If our QC final inspection, a) is not part of the fabricating process; b) does not require to be done on every part (ie. inspection only sampling basis; c) does not affect the part's quality, then we can omit it in the PFMEA. Is this saying correct ?
I ask because when we add "QC final inspection" in the PFMEA and concludes that it has no failure mode by putting "N/A", one of our customer raised this question to us: "You can't say "N/A" because you need to put those numbers. (RPN) There is no option of "N/A" in the FMEA manual."
If we does not include QC final inspection in PFMEA, no one make any noise ever. What is the better option ?
