After its successful acceptance of US Industry, FMEA has generated widespread interest as a means of improving reliability, preventing costs and shortening lead-times. The appeal of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) lies in its versatility. Its principles and techniques can be applied to almost any product or process, making it a very useful tool for companies in any industry.

This FMEA course supports Design Concepts and Quality Systems in the ISO-9000 and TS16949 standards. It will impart the method of identifying potential causes of a failure (in product or process) whose effects might be felt on the customer side. It will teach how to use statistical analysis to determine the probability of a root cause occurring and the method of developing countermeasures to avert the failure mode in question.

Objectives:

1. To introduce to the participants the methodology of FMEA and its importance to the principle of quality planning and control.
2. To familiarize the participants with the applications and benefits of FMEA.
3. To acquaint the participants with the guidelines for managing an FMEA program.

Note 1: This course has two variants namely Design FMEA and Process FMEA. Each is a one-day seminar.

Note 2: The Both seminars share the same introduction.

Who should attend: Staff, supervisors, engineers and managers in Quality Control/ Quality Assurance, Production/Operations, R & D, and Maintenance/Engineering
