A PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a structured approach to identifying and evaluating potential risks associated with a process. It is used to identify and analyze potential failure modes and their associated causes and effects in a process. The goal of a PFMEA is to identify potential failure modes, prioritize them according to risk, and develop actions to reduce or eliminate the risks. The process typically involves a team of people from different departments and levels of the organization, including process engineers, quality engineers, and production personnel. The team works together to identify potential failure modes, determine their causes and effects, and develop corrective actions to reduce or eliminate the risks. A PFMEA is a valuable tool for improving process reliability and reducing the risk of failure. It is an important part of a comprehensive quality management system and is used to identify and eliminate potential risks before they become problems. By proactively addressing potential failure modes, organizations can reduce the cost of rework, scrap, and customer dissatisfaction.
