Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis
Its tool used for finding and fixing problem in
early stage
What is DFMEA?
It makes product/part better & safer before
creating them
Every industry use DFMEA now-a-days
Safety To Prevent Accidents and harm to users
Engineers Aim for Products that works well &
Why do Engineers use it? Quality
lasts for long time
Very less chance of products breaking / not
Fewer Problems
working
1 Team UP
2 Break it Down
3 Find Problems
4 Rate Problems
Have you ever wondered how engineers
make sure the things we use are safe and Introduction to DFMEA
work well? 5 Effects
