This paper analyzes Tian Xingjian's FMEA import experience for many years as follows:

1. Do we really know what an excellent FMEA is?

2. What are the conditions to be an excellent FMEA?

3. What efforts do we need to make an excellent FMEA?

Now let's talk about the first point. Let's first understand the definition of FMEA, the potential failure mode and its impact, the risk management tools used in the design and development process in the automobile industry, and what is the purpose of FMEA? Focus on reducing costs, reducing customer complaints, delivering on time, improving product safety, reducing offline time, improving product reliability and so on. But on the other hand, does our FMEA help us achieve all these business goals?

When the production line has been formed and mass production has begun, but FMEA has not been completed, the problems of the production line will emerge one after another. When did the boss ask you to complete FMEA in order to meet the audit requirements? This is a situation where I have to do a simple audit FMEA.

Have you ever met a request from the boss before the design planning, asking us to do FMEA? You did it first, and then there was no more. I didn't remember it until the review was almost over. Where is our FMEA? Hurry up and finish before the external trial. There can be no unqualified audit. Is our FMEA the same as the control plan? Is it the same as the work instruction used on site? A serious mistake has appeared. We should refer to the control plan and work instructions to check whether FMEA is right or wrong, which is simply an insult to FMEA. Have you ever encountered this kind of problem?

In the next stage, we made FMEA and began to use and maintain it. Once there is a problem, someone will bring it up to check whether FMEA has identified and analyzed the failure mode of this problem. There are two outcomes. The failure mode of this problem has occurred, when the problem has been solved and the problem has been updated to FMEA. However, due to the long time, some people canceled the preventive and testing measures to solve this problem for other reasons and made engineering changes. At this time, FMEA did not have a corresponding review. Some people thought that the improvement measures would be impossible after being implemented for a period of time, and privately stopped the implementation of the measures. On the other hand, which is the most existing situation, the failure mode of this problem has not yet been determined. At this time, someone will stand up and ask why our FMEA didn't realize our risk.

Let's get back to our topic, shall we? Excellent FMEA must serve our business objectives. The start of FMEA must be consistent with the project plan. The logical structure of FMEA must be clear. All employees should participate in the establishment of FMEA, and constantly update and optimize our risks throughout the product life cycle. Most importantly, we should regularly monitor the implementation effect and performance monitoring of FMEA.
