What is Reverse FMEA | Plexus International

Reverse FMEA in its simplest form is a bottom-up validation. When you create an FMEA you're starting from an ideal top-down perspective because the FMEA sets the cadence for the control plan, the work instructions, and eventually will end up on the floor. However, with Reverse FMEA you're going to the floor. The way that you should think about it is you are validating your FMEA so it's really a ‘go and see’ about the process that you theorized right up above and what you're looking for is deltas, changes, or variances. This video includes the format of the RFMEA, the process and the actions involved. If you are interested in more content like this, you can check it out on our website here: https://plexusintl.com/us.
