What is Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)?

Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) Training

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) training course is a hands-on project-based program detailing a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in your design,  manufacturing, assembly process, or a product or service.


What does “Failure modes” mean?

Failure modes refer to ways, or modes, in which something might fail. Failures are considered to be any errors or defects that affect the customer and final product quality. Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a disciplined approach to identify all possible failures of a product, design, process or service and then determine the frequency of occurrence and impact of the failure.

“Effects analysis” refers to studying the consequences of those failures.

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) training course also discusses a systematic, proactive method for evaluating a process to identify where and how it might fail and ways to assess the relative impact of different failures.  Learn:

• FMEA process and the steps in the process
• Concepts behind Failure modes (What could go wrong?)
• Concepts behind Failure causes (Why would the failure happen?)
• Concepts behind Failure effects (What would be the consequences of each failure?)

 

Learn about FMEA procedures and tools to assist you in identification of every possible failure mode of a process or product.
