Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis

Its tool used for finding and fixing problem in

early stage
What is DFMEA?
It makes product/part better & safer before
creating them

Every industry use DFMEA now-a-days

Safety To Prevent Accidents and harm to users

Engineers Aim for Products that works well &

Why do Engineers use it? Quality
lasts for long time

Very less chance of products breaking / not

Fewer Problems
working

1 Team UP

2 Break it Down

3 Find Problems

4 Rate Problems
