A quick overview of what Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is and how it is used.
We explore the various standards that relate to the FMEA process, their relevance and why they are important.
In this module we explore the FMEA process from start to finish.
Here we have a quick walk through the tool and how it works. A detailed example of this tool in use is in a later section of this course.
In this module we discuss tools that can be used to help us prioritise our efforts when it comes to implementing actions to address the risks identified through FMEA.
We explore some examples where FMEA results can help inform decisions and assist us during the design or modification of plant and machinery.
We explore some examples where FMEA results can help inform decisions and assist us during the maintenance and repair of plant and machinery.
In this module we explore the thought processes behind implementing the correct actions to reduce the risks identified in our FMEA study.

Course Outline:
This course explores the lean tool of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA/FMECA) a universal method for assessing underlying risk of a plant, process or system. It is a fundamental tool for any engineer and we will demonstrate how it can be applied to improve the reliability of a plant or system. We explore the FMEA process in detail and identifying ways to accelerate the process through educated assumptions, whilst focusing on the value adding steps of delivering a more reliable plant
The content of this course is based around and industry recognized International Standard for The Study of Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA/FMECA) EN 60812.
A key element of the course is walking through a working example from start to finish. The tools and templates introduced and used during the course will be available to the students so they can embark on their own FMEA studies.
Course Philosophy and Approach:
I use the methodology and tools taught in this course in my core job as an Engineering Reliability Manager. The content is designed to be comprehensive but also concise with practical examples – I am a firm believer that students should not have to sift through hours of online content to extract the key points.
