Risk Analysis of Production Process for Automotive and Electrical Engineering Industry using FMEA

Abstract

A failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is the most often used (and required by customers) tool for quality planning. The FMEA examines possible errors with their consequences for customers as well as their possible causes. This analysis can be realized on several levels (structure or process), and thus it may become a subject of various teams, from engineers of whole parts to those dealing with individual units, from workers preparing the manufacturing processes as a whole to those who prepare (or control or even perform) individual operations. The aim of this work is the analysis of risks using the FMEA for a selected production process and proposal of measures to eliminate risks.
