Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

FMEA Summary: Table summarizes likely failure modes and effects of various components of the coffee grinder.
(S)everity, Probability of (O)ccurence and (D)ectability of Failure ratings are assigned following the standards established in Tables 14.12, 14.13 and 14.14, respectively in Dieter and Schmidt.
Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) are generated by finding the product of SxOxD
Item and Function Failure Mode Effects of Failure S Causes of Failure O Design Controls D RPN Recommended Actions
Lid Safety Switch Switch stuck Blade powers on when lid is off 7 Sticktion 2 Friction reducing shim 8 112 Create redundant fail-safe mechanisms
Return spring failure 2 Positive mechanical engagement 8 112
Grinder blade Fracture Catastrophic failure of grinder resulting in a useless product 7 Misuse: grinding unintentional objects 7 Product warnings and guidelines Yield before breaking
Hardened lid
Manufacturing defects 2
Power cord Snapping Faulty electrical wiring
Inoperable product
5 Excessive force from pulling 4 Reenforcing bracket 7 140 Better power cord directions
Lid and body Crack or fracture Unexpected loads e.g. leaning, dropping None
Placing in dishwasher
Electric Motor Burnt out motor Inoperable grinder 6 Excessive duty cycle 5 None 5 150 Temperature sensor to force mandatory cool down
