FMEA (doorknob)
Who Are the Stake Holders?
- Homeowners, families
- Anyone who wishes to enter or exit a door
- Anyone who wants to secure a door
What it Does and How it is Used
Secures a door
- Allows selective entry or exit
- Steps:
1. Walk to a door
2. Lift hand
3. Grasp doorknob firmly
4. Twist the knob away from door jam
5. Push or pull the door open/close
Potential Failures
- If latch disconnects or mis-aligns, door does not open
- Loosening of the knob
- Material fatigue
- Rusting and sticking
- Loss of spring constant
How Failure Affects Consumers
- Doorknob becomes difficult or impossible to operate
- Doors may or may not be opened
- Repair or replacement
How Dangerous the Failures Would Be
- Cannot leave room during an emergency
- No longer reserving privacy
- Small parts may be swallowed by children
How Likely/Often Failure Would Occur
- 5~60 years
FMEA (doorknob protector)
i think we should combine the FMEA's (doorknob and doorknob protector) into a chart...
don't edit anything under the FMEA's yet, i'll get back to it tomorrow~
