Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
Considering ways in which a product could potentially fail is a crucial part of the design process. All products must be designed such that they are both safe and reliable for use and any potential dangers must be addressed in the design phase.
Assembly/Parts | Failure Mode | Consequence of Failure | S | Causes of Failure | O | Prevention | D | RPN | Recommendations | Responsibility |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
On/Off Switch | Soldering Becomes Loose | Microphone will not turn on | 7 | Bad soldering | 2 | N/A | 2 | 28 | Check soldering before assembly | Controls engineer |
Diaphragm | Torn Diaphragm | Inoperable | 7 | Misuse or Outside particles gets inside microphone | 1 | Foam Cover | 2 | 14 | None | N/A |
Extending Stand | Grip fails | Stand does not stay extended | 5 | Wear from lots of use | 1 | Exploded end | 1 | 5 | Add rubber stoppers or grips | Design Engineer |
Microphone Clip | Loose Joint | Unable to orient to desired location | 4 | Loose Screws, wear from use | 6 | N/A | 1 | 24 | Tighten Screws constantly, add friction to joint | Controls Engineer |
