We are working on a project and just finished the DFMEA. The QE suggested that we use the Risk Assessment Matrix. I understand the basics of the matrix, and I understand you put new or existing parts/systems in the matrix and capture the risk of these items.

Well, I have not done this for a long time. So, this is where I need a refresher course on. What is the most common practice to go through the practice? What I mean is where do you pull the risk information from, DFMEA, FEA, etc? How does one determine that the part/system is at risk? (I use the DFMEA for the major parts/systems which are at risk and wonder if there is suggestions on other sources) And, I would like maybe a reference or a site that might have an example of how a company does their Risk Assessment Matrix.

Thank you very much for all your help!
