PFMEA - Critical Questions
What in the process can go wrong?
Potential Failure Modes
When failure happens what is the effect
on the customer and how bad is ailure?
Effect and Severity
Why does it happen and how often?
Causes and Occurrence
How will failure be detected and
corrected before it leaves the process?
