Process FMEA: Risk Assessment for Coffee Preparation PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 131-slide Lean Six Sigma - Process Risk Analysis (FMEA) PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured approach to Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), specifically focusing on a coffee-making process. It outlines key components necessary for assessing potential risks associated with each step in the process. The first column identifies the process steps, which in this case include adding water to the coffee machine.

The second column details the key process input, emphasizing the role of the operator's experience. The potential failure modes are clearly listed, such as adding too much or too little water, along with the associated effects on the final product, like coffee being too weak or too strong. Each failure mode is assessed for severity, occurrence, and detection, indicated by the S, O, and D columns, respectively.

The slide also highlights potential causes for each failure, such as improper measurement of water or lack of instructions. Current controls are mentioned, which are the existing procedures in place to mitigate these risks. The Risk Priority Number (RPN) is calculated, providing a quantitative measure of the risk associated with each failure mode. This allows for prioritization of risks based on their potential impact and likelihood of occurrence.

Overall, this slide serves as a practical example of how to systematically identify and address risks in a process. It emphasizes the importance of thorough documentation and analysis in maintaining quality and efficiency. For organizations looking to enhance their operational excellence, this FMEA framework can be a valuable tool for continuous improvement.
