Overview:
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for preventing failure through risk discovery and mitigation of potential failure modes and associated causes. The course provides an understanding of best-in-class FMEA processes, including how to utilise lessons learned from past analyses to help reduce product development time and effort.
Course Objectives:
Learn the best practice step-by-step process for performing FMEAs
Proactively consider potential failures, prioritise issues based on risk and then initiate improvements early in development when modifications tend to have the most significant impact for the lowest cost.
Examine the key factors that contribute to successful FMEA projects and how to implement an effective FMEA process.
