Design Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (Design FMEA)     1-Day Course     £375+VAT	Dates Available 2010 Dates: July 19 (Leamington Spa) September 2 (Leamington Spa) November 24 (Leamington Spa)
Design FMEA enables designers to identify product failures before they happen. It is a systematic procedure which facilitates engineering design and NPI by establishing potential product failures, minimising design deficiencies, and improving product verification. FMEA is a mandatory requirement for many companies and provides a process for categorising failures in order to prioritise items of risk.
Course Content
Introduction to FMEA - The need for FMEA - Objectives and benefits, including right-first-time, quality improvement and lowering overall product cost Types of FMEA - The three main types of FMEA and their differences Functional Analysis - Ensuring a customer focused FMEA The Design FMEA - Failure Mode, Effects and Severity: develops the functional approach to FMEA and uses it to identify failure modes and effects, and to set priorities using the severity rating scale - Cause, Occurrence and Criticality: identifying all realistic causes of failure and setting priorities using the Occurrence Rating Table - Design Evaluation and Detection: using the detection rating table risk priority number and corrective action Management of Design FMEA - Examines key pointers in the development and improvement of FMEA using a team-based approach.
