Modernize Your PFMEA Process
Never Copy and Paste Again in Excel
For a long time, the only option for a PFMEA was to use an Excel-based approach.
Now there is a better solution. Its time to modernize your PFMEA process.
Why Excel Isn't Good Enough
- Excel files are often scattered across departments and duplicate copies frequently exist. It is difficult to know where to find the very latest version.
- Changes are difficult to perform across multiple documents in multiple places.
- Excel documents are disconnected from the rest of the planning systems and procedures.
- Workflows created around Excel commonly refer to the Workbook, but are not linked and the activity for revisions and changes is rarely traceable.
Why High QA Is Better
- The PFMEA is generated from the failure mode library to keep data aligned in all documents.
- The failure mode library comes pre-populated with industry standard failure modes and is fully configurable to meet your company’s requirements.
- Changes can be made to a single document that ensures all related revisions are updated automatically.
- Digital workflows ensure PFMEAs are updated by qualified personnel and continue through an approval process that is fully transparent and traceable to the latest standards and customer requirements.

Learn More about PFMEA
Regardless of industry or size, manufacturers need to determine process risks as early as possible. Proactive diligence makes it easier to create risk mitigation plans, identify required failure modes and minimize the impact of failure modes on production.
What is a PFMEA?
A Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA) is a structured analytical tool used by an organization, business unit or cross-functional team to identify and evaluate the potential failures of a process.
PFMEA helps to establish the impact of the failure and identify and prioritize the action items with the goal of alleviating risk. It is a living document that should be initiated prior to process of production and maintained through the lifecycle of the product.
When Should You Perform PFMEA?
PFMEA is a risk assessment tool for evaluating potential failures. Since it is concerned with operational processes that could harm products, it is most often used when there is a:
- New Process Introduction: Perform PFMEA when introducing new procedures to departmental teams. Ideally, leadership uses the analysis before implementing new processes to identify proper equipment care, tools, and production needs.
- Process Adaptation: Engage PFMEA when modifying existing processes. Any changes to production methods, types of machinery, and transportation can negatively impact multiple factors that cause chain reactions.
- Quality Risk Assessment: If you suspect a scenario in which quality is or could be compromised, use PFMEA to help create corrective actions. Process failures can result in defective products and customer returns that, in turn, decrease bottom lines.
- Business Relocation: Has your facility recently moved to a new location? If so, it’s an ideal time to conduct a failure analysis to assess potential production risks in the new environment. Taking such precautions is essential regardless of whether current process controls remain the same.
