AREA OF ANALYSIS:

BASICS ABOUT MOTOR FAN APPLICATION:

Electrically operated DC motor fan helps to cool the heat exchangers.

Heat exchangers supportive for AC Performance and Engine cooling

Motor subjected to operation with input from ECU

Motor fan operated is a suction type fan.

Motor fan parts as explained in the fig.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ACTIVITY :

To collect and prioritize the customer voice respect to failure.

Perform failure detection and to identify the failure mode.
Identify the Root cause of failure mode.
Engineer the counter measure and confirmation on
countermeasure.

NEED FOR THE STUDY:

Customer satisfaction.
Important safety parameter.
Question on reliability of vehicle
Brand image will be affected.

and sustainable product development

METHODOLOGIES DEFINED:

QFD

Description:
Quality function deployment (QFD) is
a method wily to transform
qualitative user demands into
quantitative parameters,
Where it is used here?
Analyze the customer voice to rate
accordingly.

Fault Tree
Analysis

WHY WHY
Analysis

Description:
Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a top
down, deductive failure analysis in
which an undesired state of a system
is analysed using Boolean logic to
combine a series of lower-level
events.
Where it is used here?
Used as a failure detection tool for
Motor failure
Description:
Used to explore cost and effect
underlying a particular problem.
Technique to identify the root cause
or problem by repeating the question
why.
Where it is used here?
Used to identify the root cause for the
detected failure.
