Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Prevention is always better than cure! Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was originally developed in the 1960's in the aerospace industry as a systematic method of identifying and investigating potential design or process weaknesses.

This training course is delivered in-house and covers the following areas:

Introduction - Purpose, Background & Benefits
Steps in Design FMEA
Project Planning
Design Intent, Failure Modes, Effects on Customer
Cause of Failure
Calculation of Risk Priority Number (RPN)
Design Verification
Overview of Process FMEA
Implementing FMEA
Where to apply
Common Mistakes

How will I benefit?

FMEA is now widely used to evaluate and manage risk in both product and process design
Through the recognition and evaluation of potential areas of failure, an organization can identify preventative actions and therefore minimise the risk of system failure

Who should attend?

Those involved in the design or specification of products, processes or services
Those involved in business improvement or process improvement management
Managers wishing to understand the benefits of FMEA before company implementation
Team members involved in a support role
