HI-PP7 Course Failure Mode & Effects Analysis

Identify and mitigate risks in your product creation process | 4 days

During the course Failure Mode & Effects Analysis you will learn how to facilitate and execute risk analysis. With the help of the analysis tool FMEA you will be able to map out various potential risks. In less time you will identify the high risks and develop a risk mitigation plan. Failure Mode & Effects Analysis will constitute as an effective part of your Product Creation Process. Besides, during the course, you will get enthusiastic involvement of engineers, architects, managers to increase the effectiveness of Failure Mode & Effects Analysis.

New products, processes and systems need to be developed faster and with increasing quality and reliability levels.  Therefore, production losses, warranty claims and brand image loss need to be prevented.

About the course Failure Mode & Effects Analysis

The Failure Mode & Effects Analysis, FMEA, is considered to be the heart of risk management of any development process. Providing a clear link between Design for Six Sigma and Design for Reliability and therefore ensures state-of-the-art products.

In the course Failure Mode & Effects Analysis, the reference book “Effective FMEA’s” from Carl Carlson is complemented with the structural way of working of Holland Innovative, gained by years of experience. The goal is to reduce waste of time and effort. This makes FMEA more fun to do and get focus on all the high risks. You will learn how to facilitate these effective FMEA’s including the transformation into a risk mitigation plan. The FMEA will be turned into a “living document” and a risk tracking tool.

Subjects of the course Failure Mode & Effects Analysis

During the course the following subjects will be discussed:

  • Introduction, FMEA philosophy
  • FMEA fundamentals
  • The AIAG-VDA 7 step approach
  • Organization & skills
  • System decomposition
  • FMEA scope preparation
  • FMEA scope prioritization
  • User profile
  • Parameter diagram
  • From P-diagram to FMEA
  • RPN & AP scoring
  • Risk mitigation plan
  • Linkage between DFMEA and PFMEA
  • PFMEA approach
  • Risk tracking & reporting
  • FRACAS, lessons learned
  • Monitor & evaluate
  • Common errors, best practices

Results of the course Failure Mode & Effects Analysis

The course Failure Mode & Effects Analysis:

  • Focuses on a structured preparation to decrease the effort and time for the actual FMEA process
  • Discusses the CTQ flowdown and system decomposition with boundary and interface diagram to give insight into the product at hand. The results are input for the first prioritization step with the preliminary risk assessment. Several iterations with the Risk Maturity Matrix will point out the component(s) and function(s) with the highest risk.
