準備好迎接 FMEA的新時代了嗎?
經過汽車領域專家們長時間以來的研擬，這是首部 AIAG-VDA標準，手冊封面的顏色，藍色代表 AIAG，紅色代表 VDA。
在汽車工業邁向電子化、數位化的轉型過程中，FMEA是降低新技術風險的重要工具。因為新版 FMEA標準對整體產業相當重要，雖然制定的過程比預期要來得長，但現在已由 VDA和AIAG共同發佈。
AIAG-VDA FMEA正式發行
汽車工業行動組織(AIAG)與德國汽車工業協會(VDA)，合作出版了第一部失效模式和影響分析(FMEA)。
汽車供應鏈中的企業將會發現，透過這部將兩大組織的實務經驗整合的標準，將會更容易滿足客戶的 FMEA要求，AIAG-VDA FMEA第一版，推動流程導向的方法，協助全球供應鏈滿足客戶的產品性能要求。
FMEA是汽車行業中最常使用的風險分析方法，可幫助預測和防止產品開發與零部件生產過程中的失效，全新 AIAG-VDA FMEA為所有汽車供應鏈提供了一致的方向與指引，並涵蓋 AIAG& VDA前一版的手冊和最佳實踐和範例。
AIAG-VDA FMEA新版變化
新版 FMEA最大的改變，即是使用「七步法」作為核心，提供精確與關聯方法的方式，以紀錄技術風險。「七步法」新框架，使產品設計和流程風險變得更加透明，更可以全面地進行預測、修正和管理。
新版 FMEA其他變化，包含監測與系統反應的補充FMEA章節(Supplemental FMEA for Monitoring and System Response, FMEA-MSR)、全面修訂的嚴重、發生和檢測度表格、取代 RPN的行動優先級(AP)方法、新的表格格式和軟體報告形式，以及新舊版 FMEA差異重點。
新的「七步法」流程引導企業達到資訊的一致，以確保 FMEA的準確性和完整性，當嚴重度、發生度、檢測度單獨考量，或同時考量降低風險的因素時，有助於鑑別並安排降低風險的措施順序，AIAG-VDA FMEA 七步法將促進 FMEA小組、管理階層、客戶和供應商之間的協作關係。
「當今汽車設計的技術發展和複雜性不斷加快，風險也是」AIAG品質產品與服務總監 Scott A. Gray表示。
「我們需要更強大的工具和對多面向企業審查的承諾，以更好地管理與產品相關的設計和製造風險，確保它們適合其預期用途。」

Automotive suppliers will find it easier to meet FMEA customer requirements with this new industry handbook that combines the best practices of both organizations into one guide.
The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) has collaborated with the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) in publishing the first international guide on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
AIAG and VDA have harmonized their previous regional FMEA manuals into a single document. The new AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook, 1st Edition promotes the utility of a process-oriented methodology to help suppliers meet the product performance requirements of global automakers.
FMEA is the most commonly used risk analysis method in the automotive industry tool box and helps suppliers predict and prevent failures in both the product development and part production processes. The new AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook provides consistent direction and guidance to all automotive suppliers, including best practices and examples from AIAG’s and VDA’s previous handbooks and real world experiences.
The most noticeable change in the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook is a new 7-Step approach for FMEA development, which provides a framework for documenting technical risks in a precise, relevant manner. The 7-Step Approach includes Planning & Preparation, Structure Analysis, Function Analysis, Failure Analysis, Risk Analysis, Optimization, and Results Documentation. With this new framework, product design and process risk become more transparent and can be anticipated, calibrated and managed in a more comprehensive manner.
“The technical sophistication and complexity of today’s automotive designs continues to accelerate…and so too does the risk,” says Scott A. Gray, AIAG’s director, quality products and services. “We need new, more robust tools and a commitment to multidisciplinary enterprise reviews to better manage the risks associated with the design and manufacture of these new products to ensure that they are suitable for their intended use.”
Additional changes include a new chapter on Supplemental FMEA for Monitoring and System Response (FMEA-MSR), totally revised Severity, Occurrence and Detection Tables, the Action Priority (AP) methodology and Tables to replace RPN, new Form Sheets (spreadsheet users) and Software Report Views (software users) and change point highlights from both the AIAG 4th edition FMEA Manual and the VDA Volume 4 FMEA Manual.
The new process guides the practitioner in aligning information between the steps to ensure accuracy and completeness of the FMEA. It helps identify and assign priority to actions aimed to reduce risk, while considering severity, occurrence, and detection individually and in combination with risk-reducing factors. The methodology fosters collaboration between the FMEA team, management, customers, and suppliers and can be executed with either spreadsheets or FMEA software.
