Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis

COURSE ID : WGQS-005
AUTHOR: Fernando Perez
DURATION:   One Day
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
 Quality assurance, reliability, product and process design, production, test equipment, maintenance, sales and service personnel in the manufacturing industry.
PURPOSE: 
Apply methodical and proactive actions in a multidisciplinary team environment that minimize risks associated with conceivable process failures in accordance with the standard SAE J1739.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) is one of the most widely used and effective tools for analyzing and improving the reliability of products and processes.

This performance oriented course is driven by the PFMEA methodology to help participants apply the learned material directly into their work environment from a practical perspective without using any software. This course offers an structured procedure that can be easily integrated into the quality management system in organizations certified in ISO 9001:2000, ISO/TS 16949:2002, or AS 9100.

Participants will appreciate the importance of teamwork to identify the purposes of the process, the potential failure modes and the potential causes. Students will learn how to make successful consensus based decisions about the risk level of the potential failures, risk mitigation plans and the verification of the effectiveness of the actions taken.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis

COURSE ID : WGQS-003
AUTHOR: John J. Flaig
DURATION:   Two Days
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Anyone interested in improving product or process performance.
DESCRIPTION

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is one of the most widely used and effective tools for analyzing and improving the reliability of products and processes.

FMEA can be applied to any product or process and at any point in the product life cycle from the design phase to the end-of-life phase. It is a systematic approach that gives a better understanding of the potential failure modes and how they might effect system performance. The use of FMEA has spread throughout many industries because the tool has proven itself to be highly effective in assessing risk and providing a systematic evaluation of options for improving system performance.

This Failure Mode and Effects Analysis seminar will teach a structured approach to product and process reliability analysis and improvement. Students will learn how to apply this simple yet powerful technique via a unique computer software template to improve product design, production, equipment and processes (both material and transactional). In addition, they will also learn how to prioritize the corrective action tasks to achieve the greatest improvement in the shortest time with limited resources (this is a proprietary methodology developed by Dr. Flaig).
