IMPORTANT |
It is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated in your own site. |
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to set up classification criteria required for creating FMEAs.
Menu Path: Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/FMEA Basic Data/Basic Data for FMEA
Note: Values on the Severity Criteria, Occurrence Criteria, and Detection Criteria tabs are entered automatically, in accordance with QS-9000, when IFS Applications is installed.
General Exercise for Entering Classification Criteria
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to set up a checklist template required for creating FMEAs. Note: There is one template for process FMEAs and one for design FMEAs, as indicated by the FMEA Type field on the Checklist Templates tab. For the exercises in this lesson, you need to set up a process FMEA checklist template.

General Exercise for Entering Checklist Templates
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to view the parts that have been created for the Quality Management course and could be included in a process FMEA. If you are using the Racing TM database, all the data is already installed. Note: The exercises of this lesson only use part no. 29-321, Camshaft.
Part Name | Part No. | Operation | Areas of Concern |
Camshaft | 29-321 | CNC Outer Diameter Grinding | Consistent outer diameters (ODs) of bearing journals—Each camshaft has five bearing journals. The bearing journal ODs must be consistent for each camshaft and among the different camshafts, as they are being finish-ground. |
Rocker Arm | 29-523 | CNC Milling/Boring | Correct mounting hole diameters—The rocker arm must correctly actuate the valves and swivel freely when the valves open and close. If the clearance is too tight, the arm will not allow the valve to function properly, and it will generate excessive heat. |
Intake Valve and Exhaust Valve | 29-521 and 29-522 | Compression Testing for Valve Seat Leakage | Proper valve seating—Loose fit will allow compression to escape past the valve seat. |
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to create a process FMEA header.
Menu Path: Manufacturing Standards/Routings/Routing
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to enter a checklist for a process FMEA header.
Menu Path: Manufacturing Standards/Routings/Routing
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to enter a function for a process FMEA.
Menu Path: Manufacturing Standards/Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Graphic
Note: You can also add a function in Manufacturing Standards/Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Functions. The same window can be reached from Manufacturing Standards/Routings/Routing/Process FMEAs by right-clicking and then clicking Process FMEA Function.
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to enter failure modes for a process FMEA.
Menu Path: Manufacturing Standards/Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Graphic
Note: You can also add failure modes in Manufacturing Standards/Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Failures.
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to enter causes of failures for a process FMEA.
Menu Path: Manufacturing Standards/Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Graphic
Note: You can also add failure causes in Manufacturing Standards/Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Failures.
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to enter effects of failures for a process FMEA.
Menu Path: Manufacturing Standards/Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Graphic
Expand the graphic structure on the left and verify that the causes and effects have been added.
Note: You can also add failure effects in Manufacturing Standards/Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Failures.
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to enter controls and recommendations for effects of failure.
Menu Path: Manufacturing Standards/Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Process FMEA Graphic
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show how to view a graphic FMEA effects analysis for a part.
