A Revised PFMEA Approach for Reliable Design of Assembly Activities

The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel process failure mode and effect analysis (PFMEA) approach for the reliable design assembly activities prevent product defects due errors during complex products. PFMEA approached as an integrated method that, in addition implementing recommended actions, supports worksheets, equipment, layout lines systems, early phase product. As result, innovative design-job element sheets (D-JESs), which report work instructions operator cycles, are defined before production process. modification structure, implementation proper designs D-JESs, layout, product, contributions paper. assures effectively directly avoid that could promote dissatisfaction end-users. It practical use does not require large investments, new technologies, or additional training. Its application demonstrated using case study concerning manufacturer train wagons via manual lines.
