Application Lessons for Effective FMEAs
Quality and Reliability
tools must be applied correctly to get optimum results and Failure
Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) is no exception. Yet many companies and
organizations continue to accept less than effective results from
their FMEA/FMECA applications.
Given the increasing importance of Design for Reliability
tools, it is imperative that FMEA is done effectively to improve
product/process designs and to support manufacturing and
maintenance applications. Companies no longer have the time or
budget to squander valuable resources with any tool that is not
fully effective. What are the specific FMEA lessons that separate
best practice from poor quality? How can we make this tool live up
to its potential? How can FMEAs be done in a timely manner with
full support from subject matter experts and management?
This tutorial examines a variety of applications, ranging from
effective and timely FMEAs to poorly constructed and executed FMEAs.
Attendees will understand the primary pitfalls that generate less
than effective outcomes and learn the “vital few” keys to successful
FMEAs. Each of these success factors must be understood, cultivated
and implemented to achieve maximum success in FMEA applications. Why
settle for less than uniformly effective FMEAs?
