Online Bootcamp, Live-Instructor Led

Program Overview

The Failure Modes & Effects Analysis training is focused on new implementations or change of existing designs and processes. Team members who will be involved with these changes should attend FMEA to insure a reduction in risk of failure. We use a team approach to finding failures in systems and evaluating their effects. This one-day course focuses on how to develop a methodology for finding and eliminating problems before they occur.

Who Should Attend:

This workshop is appropriate for continuous improvement leaders in a wide range of industries, functional areas, and levels, such as

Course Outline:

Design FMEA analyzes a new process, product or service design before release and imparts an awareness of possible failures. Focus is placed on potential safety hazards, malfunctions, shortened product life or a decrease in satisfaction.
Process FMEA is used to improve existing transactional and operational processes and to impart an awareness of how people, materials, equipment, methods and environment can trigger process glitches. Focus is placed on problems that may cause safety hazards, defects or reduced efficiency.
System FMEA analyzes your systems and subsystems in the beginning stages of concept and design.
