FMEA

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a valuable tool that allows quality issues to be discovered and addressed early on in the process. Sometimes divided into Design FMEAs and Process FMEAs, this one-day course introduces the FMEA methodology and how the spreadsheet can be tied into other quality documents such as the Control Plan.

Topics include:

  • Introduction to FMEAs and the overall process
  • Evaluating the potential failure modes
  • Determining the consequences of each failure
  • Methods of prevention and detection
  • Ranking the weight of each: severity, occurrence, detection
  • Calculating the RPN (risk priority number)
  • Implementing corrective actions
  • Sample FMEAs and practice session

This course can be made available for your entire group, and can be customized based on your needs and time constraints.
