ChallengeE.g. Mattel
News/ press release 08-14-07:
The Barbie manufacturer Mattel had to callback several million of toys due to poor reliability. Germany is also affected by thegreatest call-back in history of Mattel, says Mattel announcer Michael Rust. Short time ago another call-back from Mattel contained 1.5 million toys. The current call-back includes -according to Mattel - 18.2 million toys worldwide.
“We have immediately established a three level controlling system: First we demand that only exclusive colours of certified suppliers are used. Every colour charge must been tested. Colours which don’t pass the test will not be used. The second point is the intensification of the production inspections and the increase of the not announced random inspections at our suppliers. In the end we test every production run before itreaches our customers in order to assure the fulfilment of the defined standards [...]”, says Jim Walter, Mattel´s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Quality Assurance.

Design changes before job #1Approx. 70-80% of all product defects can be traced back to disabilities during product planning phases. Responsible for most of them are the developing and engineering departments.In general, fault identification and prevention starts predominantly in later phases, after start of production or sales.The result of these facts is the need to apply preventive measures to secure quality standards in developing and engineering.- In early developing and engineering phases the modification potential of product
characteristics is large and on the other hand the modification expenses are small due to the fact that engineering modifications do not have any influence on the production.
- By engineering modifications at an early stage, it is possible to present a fixed product design long before production starts. This offers the opportunity to concentrate on quality needs in production.
- Modifications at an early stage enable a short time-to-market, though especially in the automotive industry delays are quite frequent.

DR – Design Review
Definition/ Preliminary Notes
DR is a method to formally check the accordance of a product development to its definition/ standards/ its proceeding.
DR can cover the whole product lifecycle process.
Besides DR, further similar methods like Quality Assessment (QA) are in use.
Other methods like FMEA, FTA, QFD can be integrated into DR or be used to prepare a DR.
Objectives:- Ensure that the product meets the customer requirements- Enhance product quality - Recognise faults at an early stage- Reduce the number of design changes- Decrease development times
Design Review (DR)Definition- Design Review is a documented, extensive and systematic examination of a design that is carried out
to assess its ability to meet the quality requirements, to identify any existing problems and to make suggestions relating to the development of solutions to the problems.
- A Design Review may be conducted at any stage in the development, but should always be carried out on completion of the developing process.
Functions- Utilize the experience of all those involved- Improve interdepartmental communications- Ensure that results are documented in a verifiable manner

CHECKLISTS
DR – Classification by the type of realizationIn general DR can be separated in two different approaches because of varieties in realization:1. Verbal DR (walk through) will be applicable if the DR is limited to a few people. This type of DR is
characterized by critical verification of the inspection object and by documenting the results in a test log.
2. Characteristic for written DR (document control) are experts of different divisions who collect written objections and suggestions in a fixed period of time. These notes will be distributed to all team members before the team meeting starts. All concerned department or developers have to reply to these notes before the DR-meeting.

DR – Procedure at the Design Review- One result of the stipulated procedure is an improvement of interdisciplinary communication between
departments.- Considerable detail planning, in form of a binding DR-plan, is required for the execution of a design
review.- The project manager and his team are responsible for the DR execution. Team
members are selected on the basis of the functions involved. Members of the development/design, manufacturing and process planning departments are always involved.

DR – Extract of a Design Review checklist- Checklists are used to analyse the subject of investigation. These checklists are worked out by the
team members specifically for the project. Question catalogues build the basis for these checklists. - This catalogue of questions must be developed in accordance to the requirements and continually
checked and updated. The Design Review results should be evaluated critically concerning defects on precursor products.
- When the checklist is available, the team members receive a most complete documentation possible relating to the subject of the investigation some weeks before the actual review meeting. Problems identified at this time are solved by the developer or other involved experts prior to the meeting.
- The main goal of the DR meeting is to review the subject formally and completely on the basis of the checklist. The meeting results are documented in a written form.

Quality Assessment (QA)QA accompanies the development of a product through different stages. Objective: detection and assessment of failures by systematically questioning the departments involved in the product developing process at an early stage prior to production start.Evaluation in three steps:1. Stage: Theoretical preliminary investigation of the design’s ability to meet its
functional and reliability requirements, also in relation to other products.2. Stage: Assessment of the development prototype; the function and reliability of the
prototype are evaluated on the basis of tests and trials.3. Stage: Assessment regarding the capability for serial production by testing
preseries test samples and prototypes; also samples reduced under conditions of mass production environment.

QA – Extract of a Quality Assessment checklist- Checklists are provided for the quick determination of problems.- Repeated application at different times helps to identify product weak points prior to start of production.- To fulfil the evaluation at each stage of the required documents must be determined in
advance to make them available in time. - A quality preview is drawn up when all three evaluation steps passed through. This quality preview
predicts the expected failure rate in the series within a defined period. The quality preview supports companies in detecting irregularities in manufacturing processes or in Quality Assessment itself.
Example in picture:In each field, a combination of the evaluation method (or basis) and the evaluation result are shown as an symbol/ index combination. Example:+ 1/ 3: evaluated as “unproblematic” by theoretical view and trial sample

FMEA – Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
Fehlerbaumanalyse (engl: Fault Tree Analysis, FTA)Definition/ Preliminary Notes
FMEA is a method to determine the effects and causes of potentialfailures of products or processes
Objectives :
- Recognise possible faults at an early stage- Prioritisation of risks- Avoid failure causes by implementing appropriate measures
Modern QM-standards like ISO TS 16949 do explicitly mention FMEA as the state-of-the-art method for fault prevention
FMEA is the most frequently used Quality Management method in industry
FMEA – Failure Mode and Effects Analysis- FMEA is standardised in Germany in DIN 25448 (usable up to 09-03-01)/ DIN EN 60812 (since 06-11-
01).- A FMEA can also be used to collate empirical knowledge available in the company relating to
correlations between faults and factors that influence quality and to make them accessible throughout the company.

FMEA – Task areaThe first FMEA stage is to identify potential faults, their causes and effects. In the second stage these three elements are evaluated and in the last stage suitable measures are defined. After running these three stages, the resulting risk potential is evaluated again.- Input information is the current issue of product/ process data.- Besides the target, to discover and prioritise faults, the FMEA results can be used for further tasks in
an integrated QM (e.g. determination of inspection features).

FMEA in product lifecycle process- The FMEA provides short control loops by preventing the handover of faults to the
following process steps.- The only identification of faults after production or product use is insufficient, due to long response time.

FMEA – Classification of types of FMEA in the product structureStarting from a failure (F) in one system structure level, the failure effects (FE) in the structure level one above and the failure causes (FC) in the structure level one below are considered.Types of FMEAFMEAs differ in analysis object emphasis and objectives, thus FMEA is divided in two different types (System-FMEA Product; System-FMEA Process)- The function of the System-FMEA Product is to analyse potential failures from system or construction
point of view.- The function of the System-FMEA Process is to analyse potential failures from
manufacturing point of view.- The differences between the types of FMEA manifest themselves in the analysed objects. But
nonetheless there is a relationship between the different FMEA types.- The objective of System-FMEA Product with focus on systems (Level I-IV) is to
evaluate the final technically possible effect of the fault propagation across all product levels. Depending upon complexity of a system or product, several FMEAs on different levels can be made.
- The System-FMEA Product with focus on design (Level V) follows on the completion of a design. The objective is to obtain a faultless design from an engineering point of view.

FMEA evaluation conceptRisk assessment of the FMEA is based on the evaluation of 3 risk circumstances for each combination of FE, F, FC
Failure Effect Failure Failure Cause
RnS RnD RnA
Severity Probability of detection
Probability of appearance
!
Risk assessment is rated from 1-10 by means of risk figures (RnX)
Identification of an overall risk figure (RPN) by multiplication:RPN= RnS x RnD x RnA = [1...1000]
FMEA evaluation concept- The Failure Effects are evaluated in reference to their meaning (RnS).- The Failure Causes are evaluated in reference to the Probability of detection (RnD) and the Probability
of appearance (RnA).- Differing of this several companies do not evaluate the Failure Causes but the Failure in reference to
the Probability of detection. This is contrary to the principle of Quality Management which is to declare the causes of a problem.
With rising probability both figures RnD and RnA run against each other:- The higher the Probability of detection, the lower the RnD- The higher the Probability of appearance, the higher the RnA

company cooperate with one another to draw up the FMEA. The reason for this is that the knowledge relating to a product is generally distributed among many employees working in different departments. Almost every department affects the quality of a product.
- The team meetings are conducted by a moderator, whose function is to ensure that FMEA is run efficiently and methodically correct. The moderator leads and moderates the team discussion.
- The inclusion of suppliers/ customers knowledge gains increasingly significance for drawing up the FMEA. That particularly applies to companies with a low vertical manufacturing range like the automotive industry.
- The successful execution of the FMEA requires not only a motivated but also a well informed (about the methodological principals) team. Therefore it is essential that the introduction of FMEA method in the company is planned seriously.

FMEA – Computer support for realizationIt is helpful to use computer-assisted tools when conducting and maintaining FMEAs, because these tools can help minimising the costs when drawing up the analysis. A further advance of computer-assisted tools is the possibility to utilise saved FMEA knowledge efficiently.Generally the existing systems can be divided in two different types:– The word processing systems contains mainly routines for completing the FMEA forms but these
systems cannot support the user in structuring the various content of the comment boxes.– Database systems offer support for a systematic implementation of FMEA. FMEA data is memorised
and structured in a database.

DRBFM – Design Review Based on Failure Mode
Fehlerbaumanalyse (engl: Fault Tree Analysis, FTA)Definition/ Preliminary Notes
DRBFM is a method to determine the effects of product or process changes.
Objectives :- Recognise possible faults of product or process changes- Bring together participants and concerned - Avoid failure causes by implementing appropriate measures
DRBFM is the main method of the Mizenboushi-GD³, the actual quality concept from Japan.
In contrary to the practice of FMEA creative appendages are accentuated, teamwork is raised and formalism is reduced.
DRBFM is not strictly orientated to the structure of the product.

DRBFM – General information
Source: QZ 10/2005
DRBFM is a method which is focused on the changes within a design in the process of development. Variant and application development projects provide the highest
potentials and benefit for DRBFM.

DRBFM – General information- DRFBM is used as a team method.- In practice it is common to work directly at the product or process - without the help of software in the
creative phase.- The possible problems/ failures are noted in an pre-structured working sheet (greater DIN A0).- Software is used only from the measure phase on.- Focus of DRBFM are application und variant projects which modify existing results of development.

Modules of different quality management methodsUse of synergies between methodsThe integrated coverage of the product development process needs a tightly focused use of methods, which is in line with the different phases of product development. Rapid Quality Deployment aims at the efficient use of synergies between these methods, which can be achieved by modularization. Implementing e.g. an FMEA, because ISO TS 16949 explicitly claims it, the modules “determine functions” and “determine system” are being worked on. Using these modules for other methods, editing can be reduces to one module for a QFD compilation or two modules for Target Costing.
