Abstract
In order to satisfy customer requirements to comply with the control of hazardous substances (HS), most suppliers have developed a twofold strategy comprising certified document review and online testing. Nevertheless, many suppliers remain far from complying, collecting, and managing such data efficiently. They encounter significant challenges and risks in screening all the hazardous substance contained in received components as part of the green part approval management (GPAM) process. The present study developed a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for component risk, based on component types. In addition, suppliers’ HS control performance is further evaluated, based on FMEA and X-bar control chart. The results indicate the risk level for each supplier. Finally, the proposed FMEA model is applied to a case study of an electronics supplier.
