Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Training

1. INTRODUCTION
   

   Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach used to recognize and evaluate the potential failure of a product or process and the associated effects of that failure.  It serves as a vital tool for organizations to identify actions that could eliminate or reduce the chance of potential failures while documenting the entire process.  Unlike conventional methods that focus on late failure correction, the FMEA approach emphasizes early avoidance and failure prevention, which significantly reduces overall time and costs.  By implementing FMEA, businesses can reduce design and process changes, lower warranty costs, and ultimately improve product quality and enhance customer satisfaction.
    

2. COURSE OBJECTIVES
   The objectives of this training are to ensure participants can:  

   • Explain the historical background, objectives, and benefits of FMEA.
   • Demonstrate a foundational understanding of FMEA principles to support the organization in developing and implementing FMEA studies.
   • Apply the evaluation criteria of Severity, Occurrence, and Detection to assess potential risks and effectively prioritize improvement actions.
