Background
of the FMEA tool
The Failure
Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) tool forms the heart of robust product
development. Developed from the engineering community the FMEA analysis
tool can be applied to any goods, services or processes that are being
developed. The FMEA analysis tool has also been successfully deployed
in problem solving situations as it brings discipline and structure
to the problem analysis.
The FMEA tool
The FMEA
analysis tool essentially breaks the product down into parts and considers
the function of each part of the product. All the potential failures
of each part are then reviewed and scored to give a set of priorities.
The product developers can then change the goods, services and processes
to avoid the potential failure from occurring. As the failures never
occur the customers never experience them. The quality of the goods,
services or processes are thereby improved.
The FMEA
analysis tool can be used where any goods, services or processes are
being developed. Applications include; design of consumer goods, website
development, restaurant front of house error proofing, manufacturing
process development, hotel services, software development etc. Essentially
the FMEA analysis tool should be applied in the development of any
goods, services and processes where error proofing will improve the
quality of the product offered to the customers.
The FMEA training course
This on-site
training course starts with an overview of the FMEA tool and the FMEA
process. The training course then guides the trainee through the step
by step process of how to conduct an FMEA on goods, services and processes.
Worked examples are given of an FMEA as applied to goods, services
and processes. This training course is given in English and is designed
to impart the capability to perform an FMEA. This FMEA analysis tool
training course comes complete with the FMEA process template. No
prior knowledge is required or assumed and no special tools are needed.
This course
is targeted at the product design engineers, the manufacturing engineers
and the programme managers delivering new products. All our courses
are designed to be informal and are based around a series of discussions
and practical exercises.
