Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
|
|
|
Introduction |
|
The elimination, control, or reduction of risk is a total commitment by the entire organization, and it is more often than not the responsibility of the engineering department. Today, the focus is on prevention, and the emphasis is to minimize the probability of failure or to minimize the effect of failure. In order to achieve this focus, FMEA is commonly used. It is an analytical technique used by engineers to ensure that potential problems have been considered and addressed. It is a summary of the engineer’s thoughts as he or she designs a component or a system, or develops a process. It can also be applied to non-production areas. It can also help to improve the quality and reliability of products and processes. Thus, maintain a competitive edge of a company.
In this course, the various type of FMEAs, their steps in performing the FMEAs, the common problems encountered, and the recent advancement in FMEA are discussed. Case studies are given to illustrate the successfulness of FMEA in industries. |
