In June 2019, after 3 years in development with the American and German automotive, a new AIAG-VDA FMEA handbook was issued. The manual is structured around a seven-step approach applicable for both Design and Process FMEA. Although compliance with the manual is not mandated by the global automotive specification IATF 16949, it could be through customer specific requirements.
Whether or not compliance is mandated, the techniques to develop FMEA’s outlined in the manual represent global best practice, giving any organization the opportunity to improve customer satisfaction and internal performance.
