How do you conduct a Design FMEA and integrate findings into CAD/PLM systems for traceability?

Design FMEA process involves: identifying potential failure modes for each function, determining effects and severity ratings, analyzing root causes and occurrence ratings, evaluating current design controls and detection ratings, calculating Risk Priority Numbers (RPN = S x O x D), prioritizing high-risk items for mitigation, implementing design changes or additional controls, and re-evaluating RPNs after actions. PLM integration includes: linking FMEA documents to part records, creating ECRs from FMEA actions, tracing design features to failure mode mitigations, and maintaining FMEA as living document through design changes. Verification requirements flow from FMEA to DVP&R (Design Verification Plan).
