• Automotive suppliers to both North American and German

OEMs were required to assess their failure modes and
effects differently
• Differences between the Severity, Occurrence, and Detection rating
tables in the AIAG and VDA FMEA Manuals
• Caused confusion and added complexity to product
development and process improvement activities
• Alignment was needed in order to create a common set of
requirements so suppliers can have a single FMEA business
process meeting needs and expectations of any of their
automotive customers

Step 1: Planning & Preparation
Five T’s Questions to Answer
InTent • Have all Core Team Members received training on FMEAs?
• Have all Core Team Members allocated time to fully participate?
Timing • What APQP Phase or VDA Maturity Level is the project in?
• What is the FMEA Start Date and Target Completion Date?
Team • Have the team members been assigned with clearly defined roles
and responsibilities (Leader, Facilitator, Champion, Core Team
Member, Extended Team Member)?
Task • Is the scope of the study clear?
• Has the documentation/reporting methodology been clarified?
• Will the FMEA Report be shared with customers?
• Will the FMEA results be audited?
Tools • Will a spreadsheet or specific software program be used to
document the results?

interfaces, interactions, steps and sub-steps
close clearance • Tools:
• Tools: • Structure tree
• Structure tree • Process flow diagram
• Block diagram
• Boundary diagram

Action Priority
• High (H):
• Required to identify appropriate action to improve Prevention
and/or Detection Controls; OR justify and document why current
controls are adequate
• Priority Medium (M):
• Should identify appropriate actions to improve prevention and/or
detection controls; OR, at the discretion of management, justify and
document why current controls are adequate
• Priority Low (L):
• Could identify actions to improve prevention or detection controls

Transition Strategy
(Automotive Suppliers)
• Existing FMEAs developed per the AIAG 4th Edition can
remain
• Plan the transition
• From current FMEA processes and methods to the new AIAG VDA
FMEA process and tools
• Use existing FMEAs for a starting point
• Consider: Minor or major change, New rating scales, Analytical
methods and format
• New projects
• Consider:
• Company leadership mandates, Customer Specific Requirements
Transition date and milestones
