May endanger operator. Failure mode affects safe vehicle operation and / or involves
noncompliance with government regulation. Failure will occur WITHOUT warning.
May endanger operator. Failure mode affects safe vehicle operation and / or involves
noncompliance with government regulation. Failure will occur WITH warning.
Major disruption to production line. 100% of product may have to be scrapped. Vehicle / item
inoperable, loss of primary function. Customer very dissatisfied.

Minor disruption to production line. Product may have to be sorted and a portion (less than 100%)
scrapped. Vehicle operable, but at a reduced level of performance. Customer dissatisfied.

Minor disruption to production line. A portion (less than 100%) may have to be scrapped (no
sorting). Vehicle / item operable, but some comfort / convenience item(s) inoperable. Customers
experience discomfort.
Minor disruption to production line. 100% of product may have to be reworked. Vehicle / item
operable, but some comfort / convenience item(s) operable at reduced level of performance.
Customer experiences some dissatisfaction.
Minor disruption to production line. The product may have to be sorted and a portion (less than
100%) reworked. Fit / finish / squeak / rattle item does not conform. Defect noticed by most
customers.

Minor disruption to production line. A portion (less than 100%) of the product may have to be
reworked on-line but out-of-station. Fit / finish / squeak / rattle item does not conform. Defect
noticed by average customers.
Minor disruption to production line. A portion (less than 100%) of the product may have to be

Occurance

Probability of Failure

Very High:

Failure is almost inevitable


High: Generally associated with processes similar
to previous

processes that have often failed

Moderate: Generally associated with processes


similar to

previous processes which have

experienced occasional failures, but not in major


proportions

Low: Isolated failures associated with similar


processes

Very Low: Only isolated failures associated with


almost identical processes

Page 15
Occurance

Remote: Failure is unlikely. No failures ever


associated with almost identical processes
