FMEA - Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

This course is deisgned for individuals who are involved in product design, process design, quality control, and reliability engineering in manufacturing and service industries.

This course provides an in-depth understanding of the FMEA methodology and its application in manufacturing and service industries. FMEA is a structured approach to identify, analyze, and mitigate potential system, product, or process failures. Participants will learn how to identify and evaluate potential failure modes, their effects, and causes, and develop effective control plans to prevent or minimize the impact of potential failures.

Session 1: Introduction to FMEA

• What is FMEA and why is it important?
• Types of FMEA
• Benefits and limitations of FMEA
• FMEA process flow

Session 2: Preparation for FMEA

• Identifying the scope and boundaries of FMEA
• Assembling the cross-functional team
• Collecting and organizing information
• Developing a process flow diagram

Session 3: Performing FMEA

• Step-by-step approach to FMEA
• Identifying potential failure modes
• Determining the severity, occurrence, and detection ratings
• Calculating the risk priority number (RPN)
• Analyzing and interpreting the results
   

Session 4: FMEA Implementation and Control
 

• Developing effective control plans
• Verifying and validating the control plans
• Monitoring and reviewing the FMEA process
• Incorporating FMEA into the continuous improvement process

This course will include interactive discussions, case studies, and practical
exercises to reinforce the learning experience
