The FMEA Guide
How to Run Process and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in Manufacturing
The methodology behind an FMEA program that produces real risk reduction, not a binder that sits on a shelf. Covers PFMEA and DFMEA mechanics, the cross-functional team composition, the rating-scale discipline that survives team turnover, the AIAG-VDA action-priority transition, the action-execution loop, and the FMEA-living-document principle that keeps the analysis current. Walks the failure modes that kill FMEA programs: scoring inflation, single-author worksheets that the team did not actually agree to, actions that are not assigned with target dates, RPN-driven prioritization without strategic judgment. Framed for ISO 9001, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820, and AIAG-VDA environments. Written for quality managers, manufacturing engineers, and design engineers. Pairs with the FMEA Risk Analysis Workbook by Wade Prescott.
