Using an FMEA as reference to create other quality tasks

After you have identified the failure modes for a design or a process using the FMEA methodology, you can do the following to create other quality-related tasks and issues using the FMEA or the findings as reference:

• Create a quality issue to investigate a potential problem that must be addressed. You can capture issues in various forms of complaints, defects, or non-conformance that inconvenience customers.

• Create a Control Plan to trim down the design or process inefficiencies by identifying their sources and monitoring them. This can help you to further minimize the process and product variation, decrease product development time, and the associated costs. The Control Plan tab displays a history of all the control plans that are created using an existing FMEA as reference.

Note

A separate license is required to create Quality Issues and Control Plans respectively.
