Design-Failure mode and effect analysis (D-FMEA) is very important tool used in industries to detect failure during design stage. D-FMEA is a technique to find out causes of failure and their effects on the performance of a system(parts) during design phase. In this paper, the D-FMEA of critical components of designed automatic tilting mechanism trolley is carried out. The critical components of automatic tilting mechanism trolley are identified and analyzed by the D-FMEA tool. This paper provides risk priority number of components of trolley. The component with higher risk priority number has higher chances of failure. The risk priority number of critical components is reduced by incorporating corrective actions. This paper provides probable causes of failure, effects of failure and corrective actions to be undertaken during design phase of Automatic tilting mechanism trolley. The D-FMEA tools helps in reducing accidents.
