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.
Applications of the FMEA tool
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-line
training course starts with an overview of the FMEA analysis tool and
the FMEA process. The training course then guides the trainee through
a step by step process of how to conduct an FMEA on goods, services
and processes. Worked examples are given of an FMEA 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 training
course comes complete with a free download of the FMEA process template
and the necessary scoring charts. No prior knowledge is required or
assumed and no special tools are needed.
Taking the FMEA training course
Access to
this great on-line FMEA training course is time limited and not usage
limited. Once payment or an order has been received we will issue a
user name and a keycode that gives unlimited user access to the training
course. This user name and keycode can be used as many times as needed
and by as many individuals as needed.
