VDA Volume 4 Chapter Product and Process FMEA, 2nd edition December 2006, updated in June 2012, (The chapter is already included in Volume 4)

Annotation of standard text:

Short description to VDA Volume 4 “Product- and Process - FMEA”The present description of FMEA was formally revisedIn particular, the graphics have been unified and regardless of specific software programs to editing an FMEA shown. Specifically, the colour has been explained in the graphs and a suggestion of labelling of unreacted measures has been described.The 2012 update has been carried out because of demands from Industry for an interpretation that is independent of specific software programs (FMEA software).No substantive changes have been made.
