Description

INTRODUCTION

The aspiration of all organizations is to achieve complete satisfaction of their customers when they deliver products to them. Customer satisfaction is primarily driven by the experience they undergo while receiving and using a product over a period of time. This revolves primarily around the fact whether any FAILURE of their expectations occur .

Over the years, various Engineering & Quality Management systems , methods, tools and techniques have evolved in the engineering industry, which then have been adopted by other industries.

FMEA is a methodology developed over the last 70 years to help organizations to proactively or reactively plan actions to either prevent failures to happen, detect them or minimize their impact on customers.

FMEA is short for ‘FAILURE MODE and EFFECTS ANALYSIS’.

FMEA was one of the earliest structured reliability improvement methods. Today it is still a highly effective method of lowering the possibility of failure.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The primary objective of this course is to familiarize engineers,  line managers, students etc , to one of the best pro-active and re-active methodologies in engineering , to FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis); which is used by a variety of Industries such as Automotive, Aerospace , Infrastructure etc.

Through a simple example, you will understand the basics of FMEA. We will define FMEA and explain the purpose and types of FMEA which are conducted. We will discuss how is it to be implemented and what are the steps to be followed. We will learn various benefits that can be derived through performing an FMEA , as well as its limitations.

We will also discuss the importance of organizing well for effective implementation of FMEA to achieve optimum results.

We will learn all of these through examples and case studies. The course will offer many mid-course learning checks and will offer additional reading resources.

The course is developed based on decades of front-line automotive industry experience of the instructor. 

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE

This course on Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) & Its Effective implementation is designed to be a comprehensive course on the concepts of Failure Modes, their Effects and ways to plan for prevention,detection or mitigation. It is designed for professionals that either encounter issues due to lack of a systematic approach to  Failure analysis and actions at their workplace or would like to improve their outcome by proactively working to prevent  failures reaching their customers.

It is designed for a wide variety of audiences like:
