What is Incorporation in Assembly/Manufacturing Process in FMEA?

[jelly1921]

On page 13, Recommended Actions and Results:
The intent of recommended actions is to reduce overall risk and likelihood that the failure mode will occur. The recommended actions address reduction of the severity, occurrence and detection.
The following can be used to assure that the appropriate actions are taken, including but not limited to:
? Ensuring design requirements including reliability are achieved,
? Reviewing engineering drawings and specifications,
? Confirming incorporation in assembly/manufacturing processes, and,
? Reviewing related FMEAs, control plans and operations instructions.

What does Confirming incorporation in assembly/manufacturing processes mean? Could you show me an example?

Thanks!

In my opinion It is related to the implementation of the recommended actions plan in the process flow. For example, if the action has been to introduce an operative procedure to do something, the incorporation in the mfg processes could be the training on all affected operator with regard to the new procedure, or if you have planned to introduce a physical control, assure that it is effective in all related processes.

Agree with qusys. Plenty of examples! Say a widget is failing and you find out that it's because a screw came loose... because it wasn't properly tightened (or overtightened). You find that if you torque the screw down to a specific point the problem is resolved. You update the procedures to use (calibrated) tools and maybe record that the screw was tightened to the specified setting.

Part of the close-out of the issue would be to confirm that the procedures were updated, etc.

Nice answer, Yodon! We also read it the same way. It's going back to verify that changes actually take place where they are supposed to take place - exactly as you say. If you say "add a specific check for torque after process step 3, actually check that it is in place and is doing what you want it to do.
