Failure Mode and Effects Analysis - (FMEA01)

 

2 Day Training Course 

 

Interest and Need

 

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a preventative approach to risk that allows you to reduce occurrence of cause, improve test procedures or eliminate the causes of failure in a system, product, process or service and ultimately to your organisation.

 

Whenever a product is designed and manufactured or a service is provided, there is a risk that something may go wrong. If that risk is known about, there is an opportunity to prevent or control the cause of that risk, which means that you will gain:

 

• More Customers and improved customer retention due to improved customer satisfaction and confidence
• Reduced Safety Failures
• Less exposure to the risk of Product liability claims
• Reduced costs due to less process waste
• Reduced Maintenance and Warranty costs
• Improved quality
• Increased knowledge about your products, processes and services

 

Range and Objectives

 

This training demonstrates that FMEA is a team-based, documented risk analysis activity to identify and minimise potential failures and their effects on the customer. FMEA can be applied to concepts, designs, processes and machinery. The team considers all potential failure modes and their likely effects and causes. FMEA outcomes either control or prevent the causes of failure by considering:

 

• Scope of an FMEA including robustness tools
• Function
• Potential failure modes
• Effects of failure
• Causes of failures
• Current controls
• Assessing the risks
• Preventative actions

 

This training also demonstrates the people skills required for brainstorming and force-field analysis applied to Design and Process FMEA. The application of the general concepts of FMEA to the problem prevention rational process is considered too.

 

Upon completion of this course, as a member of a team, participants will be able to:

 

• Identify Potential failure modes, the effects of failure and assess risks
• Minimise Potential failure modes and their effects on the customer
• Identify causes of failure
• Assess the effectiveness of current controls and/or propose new ones
• Propose preventative actions
• Improve design and process verification

There are no prerequisites for this course, therefore people at all levels and from all areas (internal and suppliers) who are responsible for the quality of products and services will benefit from attending.
