Mark,
Yes, on first sight, it looks a little strange...but it's not a mistake. Here is why.. Occurrence rankings are influenced by the prevention controls provided that they are formally integrated in the process. For example, Poka Yoke's (which make a process more robust/error-proof) have a direct impact on the Occurrence rankings. That's why the
Root Cause and
Prevention columns are placed next to each other. You can still use the more traditional
FMEA form if you wish. The 4th Edition manual offers various layouts. Remember, content is much more important than its package.
