Apply PFMEA thinking to identify failure mode, effect, cause, and control for a new pouch process.
New spout pouch line: fitment seal must hold through hot-fill, case packing, distribution, and consumer squeezing. Trials show no leaks yet, but the process window is not proven. PFMEA: function -> failure mode -> effect -> cause -> current control -> better action The common trap is writing 'leak' as one generic failure. That hides whether the cause is heat, alignment, contamination, cap application, laminate damage, or inspection. Function Name the process function: attach spout fitment to pouch so the seal remains intact under filling, cooling, packing, distribution, and consumer use. A clear function anchors the FMEA.
