    The document outlines the 10 steps to conducting a Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The steps include: 1) reviewing the process and identifying components, 2) brainstorming potential failure modes for each component, 3) listing potential effects of each failure, 4) assigning severity rankings, 5) assigning occurrence rankings, 6) assigning detection rankings, 7) calculating the Risk Priority Number, 8) developing an action plan to address high RPN failures, 9) taking action to implement improvements, and 10) re-calculating RPNs to determine the impact of improvements.

    Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis must be done in a step-wise

    fashion since each step builds on the previous one.  Here’s an overview of
    the 10 steps to a Process FMEA.

    STEP 1:  Review the process

     Use a process flowchart to identify each process component.


     List each process component in the FMEA table.
     If it starts feeling like the scope is too big, it probably is.  This is a
    good time to break the Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
    into more manageable chunks.

    STEP 2:  Brainstorm potential failure modes

     Review existing documentation and data for clues about all of the
    ways each component can failure.
     The list should be exhaustive – it can be paired down and items can
    be combined after this initial list is generated.
     There will likely be several potential failures for each component.

    STEP 3:  List potential effects of each failure

     The effect is the impact the failure has on the end product or on
    subsequent steps in the process.
     There will likely be more than one effect for each failure.

    STEP 4:  Assign Severity rankings

     Based on the severity of the consequences of failure.

    STEP 5:  Assign Occurrence rankings

     Rate the severity of each effect using customized ranking scales as a


    guide.

    STEP 6:  Assign Detection rankings

     What are the chances the failure will be detected prior to it occuring.

    STEP 7:  Calculate the RPN

     Severity X Occurrence X Detection

    STEP 8:  Develop the action plan


     Decide which failures will be worked on based on the Risk Priority
    Numbers.  Focus on the highest RPNs.
     Define who will do what by when.

    STEP 9:  Take action

     Implement the improvements identified by your Process Failure Mode


    and Effects Analysis team.

    STEP 10:  Calculate the resulting RPN

     Re-evaluate each of the potential failures once improvements have


    been made and determine the impact of the improvements.
