workstation downstream implemented

Describe the detection action and at which workstation it will be

performed

Yes, at the Yes , No, no action

Describe the detection action and at which workstation it will be
performed.

Can a similar but wrong part be loaded? YES NO

Yes, at the Yes , No, no action

Is there a detection measure for the loading of similar but wrong parts?
3 workstation downstream implemented

Describe the detection action and at which workstation it will be

performed.

Can wrong parts (not similar) be loaded? YES NO

Yes, at the Yes , No, no action

Is there a detection measure forwrong parts?
workstation downstream implemented

performed

Can a defective part be machined? YES NO

Yes, at the Yes , No, no action

Is there a detection for machining defective parts?
workstation downstream implemented
5

Describe the detection action and at which workstation it will be

performed.

Yes, at the Yes , No, no action

Have you considered possible contamination problems for this part?
workstation downstream implemented

6
Describe the detection action and at which workstation it will be
performed

Is the part also loaded by alternative processes (for example as part of

YES NO
rework / repair)?
7
Is there a complete RFMEA for these processes? YES NO N /A

Are tools needed for installation? YES NO

8
Are they used? YES NO N /A

9 Can the part be damaged by the tool used? YES NO N /A

10 Is the work instruction followed by the worker? YES NO

11 RFMEA Rating (Circle One) GREEN YELLOW RED

Carried out by : Production Engineer Quality Engineer Product Manager

RFMEA Evaluation Definitions:
GREEN: Detection method is used within the executing workstation. Defects will not leave the workstation without being detected.
YELLOW: Detection method is used within the department / plant. Defects can leave the workstation undetected. Defects are detected in downstream processes before shipment (e.g.,
as part of a final inspection).
RED: There are no detection methods. Defects can leave the workstation undetected. Defects are not detected in downstream processes before shipment.
Note: Visual aids, work instructions and visual inspection instructions are not effective detection measures.
