The meeting discussed a game plan for investing the problems and finding the root causes of the problems to solve. We used the parameter-diagram in the meeting because the problems and the root-causes were complicatedly interconnected.

Conducting a meeting with some engineers to a Design FMEA is pretty hard because the engineers are always busy. Gathering several engineers and conducting a long hour meeting not only makes a pressure on the project schedule but put an additional burden on the engineers. Even worse, the Design FMEA meeting does not create a tangible design elements. But the manager and the engineer could be relieved from the burden if they understand a positive effect of Design FMEA.
