DFMEA

Imagine that errors don’t occur, so you don’t have to spend time, resources, and ultimately money to get the error corrected again. The DFMEA analysis tool is taliormade to gain control over your product.

DFMEA – Gain control of your product

DFMEA stands for Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis and is an analytical tool for proactive risk management where you and your company are given the opportunity to discover the flaws and correct them already in the Design process.

Experts estimate Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) – that is, how much it costs to make mistakes – to be 5 to 30 percent of gross revenue for most companies.

As an example of how much you lose out on mistakes, imagine a company that has a turnover of 100 million kroner pr week and has a COPQ of 20 percent. This means that out of a five-day working week, a whole day will go on producing products that cannot be used for anything!

Fortunately, DFMEA is a unique tool for quality assurance of your products. You will get control of your products from the beginning of the production process.

DFMEA is for all companies that work with design. There are several different types of Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) – e.g. Process FMEA (PFMEA). LSV Group primarily works with DFMEA-Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis.

So say goodbye to mistakes and the fire-fighting culture in your organization – the fires will lack oxygene with DFMEA.

There is always a requirement for design

In a product, there are always a number of requirements for each element. We are based on requirements we know and map them.

Have a look at a shopping cart. The customer has an expectation that the wheels on the cart slip smoothly around and that there is room for many items in the cart. Other requirements could be that there is a children’s seat in the trolley, which is comfortable to sit on.

In DFMEA, we work to identify what the requirements are for the individual parts, such as the wheels on the shopping cart, the seat, etc., but also what is necessary for the individual parts to fit together and eventually to form a shopping cart.

In short, each sub-element is reviewed to ensure the right quality. This is done in collaboration with the employees within the company who have the technical knowledge.

LSV Group offers the framework (DFMEA) and the ability to ask the right questions to exclude the risk elements of the design that the company may not even think about.

DFMEA is therefore the link between designers, production and other relevant stakeholders – it’s a kind of communication tool that ensures that employees and any suppliers have a common risk picture.

So, with DFMEA, we make sure that all elements of the design are smoothe to avoid mistakes and ultimately waste the company’s money.

How we work with DFMEA

There are many steps in the work on Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis,
But roughly speaking, there are three phases in the DFMEA work – including a general overview:

Phase 1 - Gathering Knowledge

  • Employees must understand the task and product design

Phase 2 - Mapping

  • The product is reviewed
  • A risk image is created
  • Elements to be pursued are selected
  • All stakeholders must agree on the risk picture
  • All products and subassemblies are reviewed for potential errors

Phase 3 - Action Plan

  • What actions are needed to reduce the risk picture?
  • Ownership, deadlines and deliveries must be defined
