PFMEA Overview
• PFMEA’s shall be developed and maintained by cross-functional teams.
• PFMEA team members have to be trained for PFMEA process. Site Leadership
should review the need for PFMEA training at least once per year.
• PFMEA’s shall take into account all manufacturing operations from individual
components to assemblies and include all support processes within plant that can
impact the manufacturing and assembly operations.
• PFMEA’s shall:
–Conform to customer requirement (current AIAG or PSA guidelines),
– Have accurate Severity/Occurrence/Detection ratings,
– Be updated on a regular basis (living documents),
– Be utilized for Continuous Improvement.

RISK REDUCTION
PFMEA risk reduction process
Suppliers are required to have a formal and documented risk reduction process:
•Proactive RPN Reduction Process - Reducing the risk of potential quality
failures (e.g.: reverse PFMEA Process),
•Reactive RPN Reduction Process – reducing the risk of past quality issues.
5
RISK REDUCTION
Risk prioritization
Once Severity, Occurrence and Detection have been defined, PFMEA team must decide if
further efforts are needed to reduce the risk.
One approach to assist in action prioritization to use Risk Priority Number (RPN):
RPN = Severity(S) x Occurrence (O) x Detection (D)
PSA’s RPN threshold for recommended action is 36.
GM has not defined RPN threshold (it is not a recommended practice for determining the
need for action) in accordance with AIAG FMEA Reference Manual.

PFMEA Review Process
Cross-functional teams shall review PFMEA’s periodically.
• The frequency and/or number of PFMEA reviews shall be determined by
supplier leadership based on:
– customer expectations (customer complaints, 5 whys, launch activities,
etc.),
– process capability (FTQ, SPC, etc.),
– changes to the process (Error proofing, Tier 2 changes, etc.).
• Criteria to prioritize which PFMEA to review include:
– product from an acquisition, tool move or change in supplier,
– PFMEA developed without adequate cross-functional involvement,
– PFMEA for part(s) with history of customer complaints, warranty,
– Occurrence ratings (FTQ, scrap, etc.) have changed significantly,
– PFMEA with oldest revision dates.
9
RISK REDUCTION
PFMEA Review Process (Continued)
• PFMEA shall be reviewed and updated based on the following:
– verification that all operations/processes (paint, heat treat, material
handling, labelling, rework/repair, etc.) are included and accurate,
– all process controls are included,
– Detection ratings are accurate,
– Occurrence ratings are analysed using data (SPC, FTQ, Verification
Station, scrap rate, Layered Process Audits results, etc.).
– Verification that the PFMEA meets customer requirements and
expectations (AIAG, PPAP, launch etc.).

RISK REDUCTION
Reverse PFMEA Process
• Reverse PFMEA definition
•Reverse PFMEA is an on-station review of all failure modes included in PFMEA
conducted by cross-functional team, focused to verify that all failure modes have
proper controls (prevention/detection) and they are working properly.

RISK REDUCTION
General risk assessment
• Systematic approach is used to identify potential risks which could impact to
plant normal processes, activities which covers risks such as:
– Un-availability of key resources (electricity, pressured air, water etc.),
– Breakdown of key processes
– Breakdown of key tierX suppliers,
– Disasters (fire, flood, earthquake etc.),
– Strikes, etc.
• Formalized process of evaluation and control of risks are defined.
• The responsibilities of evaluation and management of risks are clearly
established, coherent with the typology of the risks
• Managed by top management.
• Prevention and reaction plans are defined and delpoyed. When applicable, plan
is audited and simulations is carried out.
• The risks and the associated plans are periodically reviewed based on the plant,
corporate and external lessons learnt.

What goes wrong ?
•PFMEA is a „one man show”.
•Management is not involved & does not allocate resources for regular reviews.
•PFMEAs not used for continuous improvement - only updated when problems occur.
