Dear all

Please suggest me when to implement PFMEA, and how to start?

Regards,

Sanjeev.

Dear sanjeev,

During APQP stage you should start.once process planning is over you start this one and implementing the same.

Dear Sanjeev

I will give an answer which is somewhat generic as compared to Mani Kumar's.

1. In case of a new order and you are not sure of meeting customer requirements, Please do an FMEA even if the process exists.

2. in case you receive sporadic complaints and your records show that the system is in place, please do PFMEA.

3. In case of a reengineered/improved process as a result of six sigma or any other method carryout a PFMEA.

Please remember  PFMEA is the only proactive tool. so, you need to get people use it more and more.

you may refer to AIAG publication but modify severity and probablity ratings in case you are from a different industry.

 

Dear Mani Sir/ Chandradekar Sir,

Thank u so much for your valuable and mind blowing replay for PFMEA .

regards

Sanjeev.

Generally FMEA (Failure mode error analysis) is used in Analyse phase.  However it can be used in Measure phase also.

Once process mapping is done and identified all the inputs and outputs.  Prioritsation matrix is made.  This gives us an idea which inputs play a major role on outputs and which does not.  From here the important inputs identified can be taken for furthur analysis in FMEA sheet. 

Here it would help in finding out the risk factors included if that particular input fails or does not perform to the optimum (RPN)

Dear members,

Is there a Six Sigma practice in Industrial Security (Manpower) sector in any organisation. Members please enlighten the practise and proedures if followed or if you are aware of.

With regards.

V. Rangarajan.

Dear Rangarajan

To my knowledge, the concept of six sigma can be implemented in any industry, where there are various processes ( variance in processes), and especially processes related to customers.  Probably, you may look at the applicability of this, based on the following.

1. Are there various processes in the business. What is the benchmark for the each process? How much it is varying from the benchmark in actual practice, and what is the customer to that process got to say about that.

2. Processes- Income generating process. Are they generating maximum or there is more potential to fine tune to generate more.

3. Cost saving: what are the cost saving processes.  is there more possibility to save costs.

4. No cost and no income processes:  Certain processes in the business do not generate both, but helps in improving the efficiency of the business.

In general, identify all the proceses of your business, divide as above, see what the customers to that process are saying and work towards that.  Do not take up a project unless, it gives maximum benefit due to the cost, time and manhours spent.

Mr srinivas Valluri,

Many thanks for your quick reply. You have thought about it as the reply is self explanatory.

As I am conducting security training and security audit in the industry I am looking for HR person 's views who is actually trying it out in this sector.

since the industry is labour intensive and supply demand position is scarce because of the professional hazards attached to this job, the process and quality delivery are never tuned alike or they never meet each other's requirements.

However my due regards for your reponse.
