Abstract
In this paper, ordinary FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) was applied during the design phase of an electric motor control system for vehicle HVAC (Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning). The analysis of the field data from the second year forces to review FMEA. The corrective actions, planned on the basis of the sole failure mode, as usual in FMEA, proved to be inadequate and Failure Analysis was performed to understand the failure mechanism of the indicted component and integrate. New proper corrective actions were devised and successfully implemented.
