The P-Diagram is an excellent tool for preparing risk analyses, such as FMEAs. Many companies have already decided to use this tool before the official recommendation of the AIAG/VDA guideline. On this topic, Marc Thomas Noeske from Tenneco presented the PLATO webinar Anticipate the Unanticipated - Variables for Robust Design to about 125 participants on Wednesday, June 23, 2021.
In his opinion, the P-Diagram has so far led an (unjustified) niche existence in FMEA. Obviously, the P-Diagram and the FMEA are not related to each other. But both concepts have a common purpose: to anticipate the unanticipated. The challenge is to establish a connection between P-Diagram and FMEA despite the different concepts. Marc Thomas Noeske explains how this can work and what requirements are made on supporting software in the process.
