Introduction to FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
What you'll learn
- Provides a solid educational foundation for both practitioners and researchers in quality and reliability engineering field.
- Ensures high design quality and reliability during the early development stages in order to shorten development times and stay within budget.
- Teaches by example using an FMEA case study. At the end of the course is a set of multi-choice questions that help to further enhance FMEA understanding.
- Implement correct and proven methods and procedures so that problems can be anticipated and prevented, resulting in safe and trouble-free products and processes
- Learn how to create a FMEA worksheet for identifying and mitigating risks in design and processes.
Requirements
- No prior experience in quality and reliability engineering required. This course is for anyone who wants to learn about FMEAs and how to do them effectively and efficiently regardless of job discipline or prior FMEA experience.
Description
There are many quality and reliability tools available to corporations, but the one that shows up consistently in a company after company is Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This course covers the common types of FMEAs - System FMEAs, Design FMEAs, and Process FMEAs. This course is an ideal source for academic curricula, as well as for applications in industry. In addition, this course covers:
The basics of FMEA and risk assessment
How to apply key factors for an effective FMEA and prevent the most common errors
Implementing a "best practice" FMEA process
Everyone wants to support the accomplishment of safe and trouble-free products and processes while generating happy and loyal customers. This course will show how to use FMEA to anticipate and prevent problems, reduce costs, shorten product development times, and achieve safe and highly reliable products and processes.
In this course, we touch upon the following topics:
Need for FMEA
What is FMEA?
What is FMEA used for?
Types of FMEA
FMEA Worksheet - Template
