FOREWORD
1st and 2nd Edition
This reference Manual and Reporting Format was developed by the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
(FMEA) teams at Chrysler, Ford and General Motors, working under the auspices of the Automotive
Division of the American Society for Quality Control (ASQC) and the Automotive Industry Action Group
(AIAG).
ly
n
The ASQC/AIAG Task Force charter is to standardize the reference manuals, procedures, reporting formats
O
and technical nomenclature used by Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors in their respective supplier quality
e
systems. Accordingly, this manual and format, which is approved and endorsed by Chrysler, Ford and
s
General Motors, should be used by suppliers implementing FMEA techniques into their design/
U
manufacturing processes.
l
a
In the past, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors each had their own guidelines and formats for insuring
rn
supplier FMEA compliance. Differences between these guidelines and formats resulted in additional
te
demands on supplier resources. To improve upon this situation, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors agreed
to develop, and, through AIAG, distribute this Manual. The work group responsible for the Manual was led
In
be George Baumgartner of Ford Motor Company.

This Manual provides general guidelines for preparing an FMEA. It does not give specific instructions on
a
how to arrive at each FMEA entry, a task best left to each FMEA team. This Manual also is not intended to

FOREWORD
3rd Edition
The FMEA 3rd Edition (QS-9000) is a reference manual to be used by suppliers to DaimlerChrysler, Ford
Motor Company, and General Motors Corporation as a guide to assist them in the development of both
Design and Process FMEAs. This reference manual is intended to clarify questions concerning the techni-
cal development of FMEAs.
This reference manual is consistent with the Supplier Quality Requirements Task Force charter to standard-
ly
ize the reference manuals, procedures, reporting formats and technical nomenclature used by suppliers to
n
DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Corporation. Accordingly the FMEA, 3rd
O
Edition Manual is written to provide guidance for the supplier. The manual does not define requirements, it
does provide general guidelines intended to cover situations normally occurring when preparing FMEAs
e
during the design phase or process analysis phase.
s
U
This manual is the technical equivalent of SAE J1739, for Design and Process FMEAs. However, it does
l
not include an application for Machinery FMEA. Interested parties in Machinery FMEA may refer to SAE
a
rn
J1739 for a related example.
te
The Supplier Quality Requirements Task Force would like to thank the following individuals, and their
In
companies, who have contributed their time and efforts to the development of either this edition of the
FMEA manual or earlier editions.

FMEA Implementation Because of the general industry trend to continually improve
products and processes whenever possible, using the FMEA as
a disciplined technique to identify and help minimize potential
concern is as important as ever. Studies of vehicle campaigns
have shown that fully implemented FMEA programs could have
prevented many of the campaigns.
ly
To achieve the greatest value, the FMEA must be done before a
n
product or process failure mode has been incorporated into a
O
product or process. Up-front time spent properly completing an
FMEA, when product/process changes can be most easily and
e
inexpensively implemented, will minimize late change crises. An
s
FMEA can reduce or eliminate the chance of implementing a
U
preventive/corrective change that would create an even larger
l
concern. Communication and coordination should occur
a
among all FMEA teams.
rn
te
Figure 1 depicts the sequence in which an FMEA should be
performed. It is not simply a case of filling out the form but
In
rather of understanding the FMEA process in order to eliminate
risk and plan the appropriate controls to ensure customer
satisfaction.

O
n
ly
It is not appropriate to compare the ratings of one team’s FMEA
with the ratings of another team’s FMEA, even if the product/
process appears to be identical, since each team's environment
is unique and thus the respective individual ratings will be
unique (i.e., the ratings are subjective).
ly
Follow-Up The need for taking effective preventive/corrective actions, with
n
appropriate follow-up on those actions, cannot be
O
overemphasized. Actions should be communicated to all
affected activities. A thoroughly thought-out and well-developed
e
FMEA will be of limited value without positive and effective
s
preventive/corrective actions.
U
l
The responsible engineer is in charge of ensuring that all
a
recommended actions have been implemented or adequately
rn
addressed. The FMEA is a living document and should always
te
reflect the latest level, as well as the latest relevant actions,
including those occurring after the start of production.
In
The responsible engineer has several means of assuring that
y
recommended actions are implemented. They include, but are

not limited to the following:

INTRODUCTION
ly
to ensure that, to the extent possible, potential failure modes
and their associated causes/mechanisms have been considered
n
and addressed. End items, along with every related system,
O
subsystem, and component, should be evaluated. In its most
e
rigorous form, an FMEA is a summary of the team’s thoughts
s
(including an analysis of items that could go wrong based on
U
experience) as a component, subsystem, or system is designed.
This systematic approach parallels, formalizes, and documents
l
a
the mental disciplines that an engineer normally goes through in
rn
any design process.

The Design Potential FMEA supports the design process in
reducing the risk of failures (including unintended outcomes) by:

Customer Defined The definition of “Customer” for a Design FMEA is not only the
e
Team Effort During the initial Design FMEA process, the responsible
engineer is expected to directly and actively involve
representatives from all affected areas. These areas of expertise
and responsibility should include but are not limited to
assembly, manufacturing, design, analysis/test, reliability,
materials, quality, service, and suppliers, as well as the design
area responsible for the next higher or lower assembly or
system, subsystem, or component. The FMEA should be a
catalyst to stimulate the interchange of ideas between the
functions affected and thus promote a team approach.

team facilitation, it is helpful to have an experienced FMEA
facilitator assist the team in its activities.

Considering that manufacturing/assembly needs have been
incorporated, the Design FMEA addresses the design intent and

assumes the design will be manufactured/assembled to this

intent. Potential failure modes and/or causes/mechanisms that
can occur during the manufacturing or assembly process need

compliance to regulations. The effects should always be stated
O
in terms of the specific system, subsystem, or component being
analyzed. Remember that a hierarchical relationship exists
e
between the component, subsystem, and system levels. For
s
example, a part could fracture, which may cause the assembly

to vibrate, resulting in an intermittent system operation. The
l
intermittent system operation could cause performance to
a
degrade and ultimately lead to customer dissatisfaction. The

PROCESS FMEA
INTRODUCTION
A Process Potential FMEA is an analytical technique used by a
Manufacturing/Assembly-Responsible Engineer/Team as a
means to ensure that, to the extent possible, potential failure
modes and their associated causes/mechanisms have been
ly
considered and addressed. In its most rigorous form, an FMEA
is a summary of the team’s thoughts (including an analysis of
n
items that could go wrong based on experience) as a process is
O
developed. This systematic approach parallels and formalizes
e
the mental discipline that an engineer normally goes through in
s
any manufacturing planning process.
U
The Process Potential FMEA:
l
a
rn
• Identifies the process functions and requirements,
• Identifies potential product and process-related failure
te
modes,
• Assesses the effects of the potential failures on the
In
customer,
• Identifies the potential manufacturing or assembly
y
n
process causes and identifies process variables on
a
which to focus controls for occurrence reduction or

PROCESS FMEA
INTRODUCTION (Continued)
The Process FMEA is a living document and should be initiated:
• Before or at the feasibility stage,
• Prior to tooling for production, and
• Take into account all manufacturing operations, from
ly
individual components to assemblies.
n
Early review and analysis of new or revised processes is
O
promoted to anticipate, resolve, or monitor potential process
e
concerns during the manufacturing planning stages of a new
s
model or component program.
U
The Process FMEA assumes the product as designed will meet
l
a
the design intent. Potential failure modes that can occur
rn
because of a design weakness may be included in a Process
FMEA. Their effect and avoidance is covered by the Design
te
FMEA.
In
The Process FMEA does not rely on product design changes to
y
overcome weaknesses in the process. However, it does take
n
into consideration a product’s design characteristics relative to
a
the planned manufacturing or assembly process to assure that,
p
The Process FMEA should begin with a flow chart of the general
process. This flow chart should identify the product/process

16) Current Process Current Process Controls are descriptions of the controls that
o
Controls either prevent to the extent possible the failure mode or cause/
C
or at subsequent operations.
There are two types of Process Controls to consider:
rd
o
action(s).
rt
e
The Process FMEA form in this manual has two columns for the
process controls (i.e., separate columns for Prevention Controls
and Detection Controls) to assist the team in clearly
distinguishing between these two types of process controls.
This allows for a quick visual determination that both types of
process controls have been considered. Use of this two-
column form is the preferred approach.

19) Recommended Action(s) Engineering assessment for preventive/corrective action should
be first directed at high severity, high RPN, and other items
designated by the team. The intent of any recommended action
is to reduce rankings in the following order: severity, occur-
rence, and detection.
ly
tion must be given to ensure that the risk is addressed through
n
existing design actions/controls or process preventive/correc-
O
tive action(s), regardless of the RPN. In all cases where the
effect of an identified potential failure mode could be a hazard
e
to manufacturing/assembly personnel, preventive/corrective ac-
s
U
tions should be taken to avoid the failure mode by eliminating or
controlling the cause(s), or appropriate operator protection
l
a
should be specified.
rn
After special attention has been given to severity rankings of 9
te
or 10, the team then addresses other failure modes, with the
intent of reducing severity, then occurrence, and then detection.

Actions such as, but not limited to, the following should be

considered: n

ro
In Figure F1, interactions between subsystems can occur among any of the interfacing
P
systems (e.g., Subsystem A heats up, resulting in Subsystem D and Subsystem B also
gaining heat through the respective interfaces, as well as Subsystem A giving off heat
to the environment). Interactions might also occur among ‘non-contacting’ systems via
transfer through the ‘environment’ (e.g., if the environment is composed of high
humidity and Subsystems A and C are dissimilar metals separated by a non-metal
composing Subsystem B, Subsystems A and C can still have an electrolytic reaction
due to the moisture from the environment). Thus, interactions among non-contacting
subsystems can be relatively difficult to predict but are important and should be
considered.

EXAMPLE 2: Items, Functions, and Failure Modes
Figure F2 (see next page) describes a method of showing the Items, Functions, and Failure Modes in a
‘tree arrangement’ that can assist the team in visualizing the System, Subsystems, and Components.
At the System Level, the descriptions will tend to be much more general than for the Subsystems and
Components (Components will usually have the most specific descriptions).
