Design and Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) C1510
Topics: Quality, Safety & Maintenance
This course covers the five types of FMEAs with emphasis on constructing Design and Process FMEAs. Each column of the FMEA document will be clearly explained using an actual FMEA example. The course covers various methods for identifying failure modes, effects and causes with special attention given to severity, occurrence, and detection tables and how to develop effective recommended actions strategies. Throughout the class, participants will be involved in exercises/actual projects that demonstrate and incorporate direct application of learned principles.
Learning Objectives
By attending this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the benefits, requirements and objectives of an FMEA
- Describe the five types of FMEAs and how to use them
- Develop and interpret a Design and Process FMEA form
- Identify and utilize various tools when performing an FMEA
- Describe the standard requirements/recommendations for an FMEA
- Select suitable projects and teams for completing an FMEA
- Complete a typical Design and Process FMEA form
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for core members of a Product Development Team such as project managers, product design, test, manufacturing, quality, reliability engineers and those responsible for assisting the PDT in design and development of product, manufacturing, assembly or services processes.
Prerequisites
Participants should have basic problem solving skills typical of a graduate engineer.
