Does your Process FMEA match your manufacturing process? Reverse PFMEA is a structured process used to ensure your PFMEA matches your process, and your process matches your PFMEA. The PFMEA is evaluated using actual process performance, as the PFMEA is compared to process metrics and is walked through the manufacturing process to validate the match. This continual improvement tool verifies your manufacturing process is performing as intended and that all identified error proofing is implemented and functioning.
