Reverse FMEA Process / Reverse FMEA – The Method – #1182
Context
Several manufacturers such as STELLANTIS, RENAULT, FORD, GM… and also some Tier 1 suppliers require their suppliers, as part of their CSR, to implement reverse FMEAs during the production phase in series life.
The reverse FMEA is a complementary tool to the process FMEA, allowing the verification of the application and effectiveness of current prevention and detection measures, as well as the discovery of new failure modes. The ultimate goal is to revise/update your process FMEA and associated documentation to strengthen risk control.
Objectives
- Discover the concepts of reverse FMEA and associated customer requirements
- Identify the advantages and benefits of the approach for your company
- Learn how to prepare and organize a reverse FMEA based on feedback
- Integrate observations from the reverse FMEA into the process FMEA and production documentation
- Be able to apply the method in your organization after the training
