When I ordered standards from.DEAD LINK REMOVED. (link was techstreet dot com), it said that Process FMEA was replaced by this new document I have in front of me, POTENTIAL Failure Mode and Effects Analysis For Tooling & Equipment (Machinery FMEA) The first page of this document says The content of this document is the technical equivalent of SAE J1739, Section 5. Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis for Tooling & Equipment should be used by suppliers to companies subscribing to QS-9000 Tooling & Equipment Supplement, or Equivalent Document. Our customer is asking us to use Potential Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). I cannot find this document specifically.
DFMEA, P(rocess)FMEA, this MFMEA I have. I'm confused. What are they asking for, and what is most current? Should I get SAE J1739? I'm confused on these documents.
We're a screw machine parts shop making parts for Tier 1. We do APQP, MSA, SPC, FMEA, and PPAP. (M)FMEA is the wrong document for us, this I'm sure. I have an old (P)FMEA supplied by a customer three years ago, it's a copy and falling apart.
I'd like the latest revision of the FMEA document most (or properly) suited to our manufacturing. Another question I have. My understanding is, I'm doing a potential failure modes and effects analysis for cutting parts out of stock on a screw machine. This is confusing because the document is aimed at systems of a whole, which has sub-systems and components. Jonsered 452 manual. I am making one component of a sub-system of a hydraulic filtration system. I am not design responsible for any of it, and we don't know what the parts we're making actually go into.
What they do is a matter of looking at the piece and making an educated guess. What I'm getting at is: do I need to know any of this, or is my potential failure mode and effects study an analysis of what could make these parts out of spec during a run?
Which document do I want to use as a reference and standard? SAE J1739 seems like it covers all of them.
Maybe I should call the customer for details, or will I sound incompetent?
The MFMEA 2nd Edition is a reference manual to be used by suppliers to Chrysler LLC, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Corporation as a guide to assist them in the development of both Machinery (Tooling and Equipment) FMEA's. The manual does not define requirements; it is intended to clarify questions concerning the technical development of MFMEA's. The content of this document is the replacement for SAE J1739, 2002 Section 5. Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis for Machinery should be used by suppliers as specified by Customer Requirements.
