FMEA
FMEA (Techniques, Tools and Software) Featuring the APIS IQ FMEA Software Your ability to predict and evaluate potential failure modes is crucial. Whether you work in a complex engineering and manufacturing environment, or a process-oriented one, such as a hospital, laboratory or school system, this course will benefit you. Everyone is looking for an effective tool to assess, manage, and reduce risk associated with failure or potential failure of products, processes, services, and other systems. You will learn to: - Determine the right time to initiate FMEA - Identify and classify potential failure modes - Build a cross-sectional team qualified to perform FMEA - Evaluate potential failure mode severity and probability - Utilize "bottom-up" analysis to evaluate a failure mode effect in order to uncover the cause - Maximize FMEA as a flexible tool to meet your industry or product-specific needs Benefits of FMEA - Improve product/process reliability and quality FMEA stands for Failure Modes and Effects Analysis. It is also known as Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). It is a method of predicting potential failure modes in product design and manufacturing and leads to safer, better quality products. Applied correctly a FMEA should be performed by a team with experience in the product area and specific skills in design, manufacturing and service. From the initial design concepts, the team should brainstorm potential ways the product or its manufacturing process could fail, the likelihood of failure and its consequence. For each potential failure ratings are hence given for the likelihood of failure (occurrence) severity of failure (severity) and likelihood of such a failure being detected (detection). The product of these three numbers forms a risk priority number (RPN) which indicates any high risk failures so that preventative action can be taken. This workshop will introduce the topic of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and will give a general guidance in the application of this powerful prevention technique. The application of this technique is to identify critical parameters and support a company’s commitment to continually improve its products and service whenever possible. Upfront time spent in doing a comprehensive FMEA well, when product /process can be most easily and inexpensively implemented, will alleviate late change crises. This process is disciplined and interactive, and never ending. Many industries, such as Automotive, Aerospace, Health Care, Medical, Chemical, etc., require FMEAs as a preventive tool. |
