In effects of failure, Potential effects of failure are defined as the effects of the failure mode as perceived by the customer(s). Who are the customers here?

• Our electronics customers (STM, GF, Micron etc)

• The next recipient of the process step

• Both internal and external customers (Next operation, subsequent operations or locations and end customers)

• Facility Managers

Which statement best describes Detection Rating?

• It considers the likelihood of detection of the failure mode/cause and is influenced by the severity or likelihood of occurrence.

• It is rated against the probability that the effect occurs as a result of a failure mode.

• It considers the likelihood of detection of the failure mode/cause and is determined without regard to the severity or likelihood of occurrence.

• It is based on the impact of the failure mode should the failure mode happen.
