FMEA
DFMEA is design FMEA analyzing possible failures and effects of product-design functions, structures, and interfaces.

In context
Generally, DFMEA examines design weaknesses assuming the intended design is manufactured. Connect issues involving failure to manufacture as designed to PFMEA without indiscriminately mixing them into the same row.
Example
If a groove made to the drawing still inadequately supports the ring, examine a design issue. Its analysis focus differs from an assembly problem in which the ring was omitted entirely.
Key distinction
First ask whether failure occurs even when manufactured as designed.
