Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

AVAILABLE IN SPANISH

Scope:

This one day program shows effective methods of performing product and process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.

Designed for:

Supervisors, technicians and engineers involved in design, manufacturing, processes and quality implementation and planning.

Content:

• Benefits of performing FMEAs
• Ideas for other applications
• Gaining maximum FMEA effectiveness
• Critical factors in completing a FMEA
• Risk evaluation and management
• Eliminating or minimizing effects of potential failures using control methods

Goals:

To provide participants with opportunities to:

• Gain a better understanding of FMEAs
• Increase productivity
• Increase predictive abilities
• Minimize the probability of product failure in service by:
  • Pro-active analysis
  • Focus on high risk areas
  • Process control methodology
• Design and process mistake proofing
• Ensure product meets life expectancy goals
• Provide basis for quality assurance program

Objectives:

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify opportunities to use FMEAs
• Perform potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
• Address potential failure modes using root cause analysis techniques
• Analyze completed FMEAs with the “critical eye” of the customer
• Streamline the process to avoid typical pitfalls to maximize return on effort
