DRBFM

Design Review Based on Failure Modes (DRBFM) is a tool developed by the Toyota Motor Corporation based on the philosophy that design problems occur when changes are made to engineering designs. The idea is to make changes from a previous, proven design highly visible and explore concerns, causes and impacts of that change. The points of change, according to the DRBFM theory, are the source of future failures.

PlanTech: DRBFM-"The Next Big Thing" in Quality Disciplines.: "Tatsuhiko Yoshimura, a quality expert and a professor at Japan's Kyushu University, knew that design problems occur when changes are made without a proper level of supporting communication.
Using the methodologies of Mizenboushi, or Preventative Measures, Yoshimura created his own philosophy of DRBFM�Design Review Based on Failure Modes.
The philosophy of DRBFM centers around three concepts called GD3:
