Application Lessons for Effective FMEAs /
Design Review Based on Failure Modes (DRBFM)
Toyota is well known for the
quality and reliability of their products. They believe Quality and
Reliability tools must be applied correctly and with attention to
detail. Yet many companies and organizations continue to accept less
than effective results from these tools and Failure Modes and
Effects Analysis (FMEA) is not an exception. Toyota believes that in
many companies, FMEA has become a formality and has lost the
original purpose of finding and correcting problems. Therefore, they
made some enhancements to add value and changed the name to Design
Review Based on Failure modes (DRBFM). DRBFM is part of the Toyota
GD3 concept developed by Tatsuhiko Yoshimura.
Most companies can only dream of improving Quality and
Reliability of their products while reducing the time to develop
them. Toyota has achieved both with the effective implementation of
GD3. Companies no longer have the time or budget to squander
valuable resources with any tool that is not fully effective. What
are the enhancements of DRBFM to FMEA? How does DRBFM fit into the
Toyota product development process (GD3)? What are the keys to
successful implementation of DRBFM?
This presentation briefly defines the GD3 methodology developed
by Tatsuhiko Yoshimura and how DRBFM is integrated in the process.
Attendees will understand the linkage and difference between FMEA
and DRBFM. Attendees will also understand the linkage of DRBFM with
other reliability methods in product validation and manufacturing.
Many success factors must be understood and implemented to achieve
the quality results of DRBFM. Attendees will also learn the "Rules of
Engagement" and keys to successful implementation.
Key Words: Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA), Design Review Based on Failure Modes (DRBFM),
