September
2008 - According to a news release by the Automotive Industry Action Group
(AIAG), the FMEA fourth edition
was released in July of 2008. As of
November 1, 2008, the requirements of the fourth edition replaced those of
the previous edition. The
OEM’s have also indicated that all companies registered to ISO/TS16949 are
expected to be following the fourth edition guidelines during future
surveillance or registration audits after November 1, 2008. The
AIAG also reported that FMEA implementation is not only expected to be
utilized by the supplier, but also is expected to be implemented in the entire supply chain. Said the Ford Task Force member, “We
fully expect the Tier One suppliers to implement the FMEA fourth edition
guideline throughout the supply chain for risk avoidance.” The
new FMEA 4th Edition Manual is available for purchase through the
AIAG website at www.aiag.org. McGan
