Process FMEA Analysis for Reducing Breakdowns of Mixed Model Assembly Line in Automobile Industry

Sharad S. Pawar, Dr. W. S. Rathod

Abstract: This paper aims to identify and eliminate potential and current problems from a manufacturing process of mixed model assembly line in automobile industry through the application of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). A Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis (PFMEA) is a analytical tool used by an organization, business unit to identify and evaluate the potential failures of a process. PFMEA helps to establish the impact of the failure, and identify and compute the action items with the goal of mitigating risk. It is a dynamic document that should be initiated before process of production and maintained through the life cycle of the product. In this some parameters needed to define such as severity values, occurrence number, detection and risk priority number (RPN). Furthermore, some actions are proposed which require to be taken as quickly as possible to avoid potential risks which aid to improve efficiency. Thus the various possible causes of failure and their effects along with the prevention are discussed in this work.
