Factorial Design
Factorial design are generally employed in engineering and manufacturing experiments.
It is appropriate when several factors are to be investigated at two or more levels and
interaction of factors may be important. Also see Design of
Experiments. Feasibility
A determination that a process, design, procedure, or plan can be successfully
accomplished in the required time frame.
Finite Element Analysis
A technique for modeling a complex structure. When the mathematical model is subjected to
known loads, the displacement of the structure may be determined.
FMA
Failure Mode Analysis.
Failure Mode and Effects
Analysis (FMEA)
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is systematized technique which identifies and ranks the
potential failure modes of a design or manufacturing process in order to prioritize
improvement actions. Click here for a book on FMEA

First Time Capability.
Functional Verification
Functional Verification is testing to ensure the part conforms to all customer and
supplier engineering performance and material requirements. Functional verification (to
applicable customer engineering material and performance standards) may be required by
some customers annually unless another frequency is established in a customer approval
control plan. Results shall be available for customer review upon request. |
