Like Design FMEA, as discussed in Module 1, process FMEA can also be performed to remove any possibility of process failures. All failure modes, causes of failure(s), severity, occurrence and detection rating are to be determined and reduction of RPN number by taking corrective action is the standard procedure of preparing and following Process FMEA. More discussion is given in QS 9000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QS9000) document on process FMEA
