This Month's Theme isSoftware FMEANext month's theme will be 'hazard analysis'Every month in FMEA Corner, join Carl Carlson, a noted expert inthe field of FMEAs and facilitation, as he addresses a differentFMEA theme (based on his book Effective FMEAs) and alsoanswers your questions.Questions and answers are a great way to learn about FMEAs, for bothexperienced and less experienced FMEA practitioners. Please feel free toask any question about any aspect of FMEAs. Send your questions to,and your contact information will be kept anonymous. All questions willbe answered, even if they are not featured in the FMEA Corner. A P-Diagram is an optionalstep when preparing for a System or Subsystem FMEA.
It is mostuseful when the item under analysis is a complex system with manysystem interactions, operating conditions and design parameters, andthe team will benefit from seeing these elements visually. It is atime intensive step, but can provide great value in understandingand controlling the system, and identifying input to the FMEA.P-Diagram is at the Item level, not at the Function level.
In otherwords, there is one P-Diagram for a given system or subsystem, not foreach function in the system or subsystem. The information in the IdealResponse block of the P-Diagram becomes input to the Functiondescriptions in the corresponding FMEA.In answer to your second question, the System block represents theentire system. As covered above, the information in the Ideal Responseblock of the P-Diagram becomes input to the Function descriptions in thecorresponding FMEA.
About the AuthorCarl S. Carlson is a consultant and instructor in the areas of FMEA, reliability program planning and other reliability engineering disciplines. He has 35 years of experience in reliability testing, engineering and management positions, and is currently supporting clients from a wide variety of industries, including clients of HBM Prenscia.
Previously, he worked at General Motors, most recently senior manager for the Advanced Reliability Group. His responsibilities included FMEAs for North American operations, developing and implementing advanced reliability methods and managing teams of reliability engineers. Previous to General Motors, he worked as a Research and Development Engineer for Litton Systems, Inertial Navigation Division. Carlson co-chaired the cross-industry team that developed the commercial FMEA standard (SAE J1739, 2002 version), participated in the development of SAE JA 1000/1 Reliability Program Standard Implementation Guide, served for five years as Vice Chair for the SAE's G-11 Reliability Division and was a four-year member of the Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS) Advisory Board.

Following the creation of the project work group, AIAG solicited additional industry feedback – specifically from Tier 2 and lower companies – via a Voice of the Customer survey, which showed a strong international interest in replacing the previous Core Tools “spreadsheets on a CD” product with a cloud-based application.Tier 2 and lower suppliers voiced a critical need for support in successfully executing the Core Tools during their new product and process development projects. They called for a robust but flexible solution: a tool that provides the required forms, but also allows for customization to support their unique needs.
