Course Description

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)



Course details

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) enables companies to reduce the risk of failure occurrence by anticipating and preventing defects in manufacture/processes.



Companies supplying the automotive industry, or seeking compliance and registration to ISO/TS 16949, are required to use FMEA techniques to achieve product assurance, but the techniques are equally applicable to all other market sectors.



This interactive and practical course will provide delegates with a basic knowledge of the FMEA methodology, how to apply it to product and process design, and demonstrates how the results of the FMEA are used to define the requirements for:

• An effective product validation plan

• An effective control plan for the manufacturing process.



What you will gain

Through the combination of interactive tutorials and workshops, our course will enable the delegates to:

Produce an FMEA

Fit an FMEA into the overall production and process design

Communicate why the FMEA should be regularly updated

Understand the business need for process FMEA

Use FMEA methodology defining the:

Customer’s expectations and requirements

Potential failure modes, consequences of failure

Methods of detection and prevention

Evaluating the “risk” and prioritising areas for improvement

Implementing corrective actions in process design



Who Should Attend?

Manufacturing and engineering managers who need to improve manufacturing capability, predict initial product yield and improve cross-functional technical communications.

Quality/Reliability managers and engineers who want to facilitate an awareness and application of these tools within their organization.

Process engineers who will be involved in formulating the manufacturing Control Plan.
