Poorly designed prototype parts are quickly replaced by better designs as the weaknesses are revealed. By eliminating poorly designed parts, the high cost of several levels of gradually improving prototype parts can be avoided. Reduced warranty repairs and recall Improvements in design and manufacturing will reduce the number and severity of warranty repairs and product recalls. This will help to reduce the overall cost of the product, and improve the manufacturer's and product's reputation. The items listed above all add up to a better product.
Products are better because of their quality.
Customers are always looking for better quality and quality products result in an increase in customer satisfaction. History A properly conducted and documented FMEA provides a record of the developing design of the product. It prevents past mistakes from being repeated by well intentioned but inexperienced engineers. The record of problems encountered and the solutions found will be of great benefit at the next design phase. It is also a useful document for newcomers to the team, enabling them to quickly come to grips with the product and its characteristics.
