Using the Reverse FMEA to Validate Performance | Plexus International

We are going to be looking at the performance of your FMEA and how the Reverse FMEA can help validate it. Whether you are talking about RPM or AP you are using a combination of severity, occurrence, and detection. In effect, what you were creating is a risk profile and the risk profile is largely created during the inception of the product or process.

What the Reverse FMEA does after your FMEA is completed and just hit the floor at an appropriate time, you want to go in see if the risk profile that you set made the intended effect you were planning on. So, when you're looking at this one thing what you look at is the poke yokes you put in place. Are they still protecting you? The occurrence values that you put in place, are they still valid? The work instructions and the forums, that you put in place as controls against failure are they performing is you expect?
