Topic: Transition from AIAG FMEA 4th Edition to AIAG-VDA FMEA Handbook 1st Edition
Presenter: Chad Kymal, CTO, Omnex Inc.
The AIAG-VDA FMEA Seven-Step process represents a positive movement forward for the automotive industry. This session discusses the changes in the AIAG-VDA FMEA and the steps to consider in transitioning from AIAG FMEA 4th edition to AIAG-VDA FMEA Handbook 1st edition.
The AIAG-VDA FMEA Seven-Step process integrates the US (AIAG) and German (VDA) FMEA methodologies to provide a new and innovative FMEA approach called the AIAG-VDA FMEA Handbook, 1st edition. It not only harmonizes the approaches of AIAG and VDA, but represents major innovation in linking the system, sub system, and components in a design with a flow down of requirements and its failures. This approach requires a systemic understanding of how system, sub system, and component failures interrelate the AIAG-VDA FMEA Seven Step approach, including how Structure and Function Analysis can help implement the V Model Engineering Development process, promoted by the new Electric and Autonomous Vehicle standards.
This session provides an introduction to:
- The 7-Step approach for DFMEA & PFMEA development.
- Considerations during the transition from AIAG FMEA 4th edition to AIAG-VDA FMEA Handbook 1st edition.
- Software solutions which can promote Design and Process FMEA “Reuse” using Foundation/Baseline FMEAs.
- The use of Artificial Intelligence in optimizing and innovating FMEAs.
