Failure Mode and effect analysis

Course Overview:

To analyze problems comprehensively. Most effective is the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis approach. Through this course, the participants will be able to:

  • Understand the elements of the design and process of the FMEA.
  • Use advanced tools.
  • Create process flow charts and control plans.

Participants will be able to assess risks. Determine the risk levels. And at which a mitigation plan should be executed.

The course will display several case studies. Relevant exercises in an interactive environment. The participants will learn how to build a corrective and control plans to lead the teams in long term sustainment.

Learning Outcome:

The objectives of Quality-One FMEA onsite training courses are to:

  • Perform Product and Process FMEAs
