Question

Create A FMEA MATRIX With The Following Information:Failure modes and effects analysis is an approach or methodology that is used for the identification of possible failures in a process be it a design, a product or manufacturing and assembly operation. While analyzing the FMEA the following steps are follwed; Step 1: Detect a failure mode Step 2: Severity number (SEV) Step 3: Probability number (Occur) Step 4: Detection number (Detec) Arrive at the risk priority number (RPN) = SEV* Occur* Detec Analyze the actions again and check and reevaluate if necessary So now you can pick any topic you wish to. Let us consider for example the process of filling out a prescription; 1. The failure mode would include; wrong prescription might be filled out wrong dosage prescription may be switched while giving to customer generic medicine gievn instead of branded medicine 2. Severity of each of these failures have to be determined now(on a scale of 1-10),(the following is based on my opinion and you can change it) wrong prescription might be filled out- severity is 8 wrong dosage - severity is 9 prescription may be given to wrong customer- severity is 8 generic medicine given instead of branded- severity is 1 3. next step is to arrive at the proabability of occurrence (again 1-10); wrong prescription-2 wrong dosage- 4 wrong customer- 2 generic medicine -7 4. detection is again given in between 1-10 wrong prescription-2 wrong dosage- 3 wrong customer- 8 generic medicine-10 Now you can arrive at the RPN with the above information on your own. Analyzing the RPN will give you an insight on which of the identified failure mode has the greatest Risk. ow to place controls. Wrong prescription: Label each bottle clearly and donot place similar sounding or coloured bottle next to each other. Before filling out each prescription ensure book entry either manually or in electronic format so that there is a second review before the prescription goes to the next process of billing, etc Wrong dosage: Register entry after taking the weight of the prescription will put a check on this. Wrong customer ;either fill out as FIFO-First in First ot mode or place bar codes on each prescription pac, etc Generic medicine :this actually does not need to have a strict control as the risk to customer is minimal or highly unlikely.
