The FMEA method (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) has been a proven tool for risk analysis in development and planning across many industries for many years. It is firmly integrated into specialist areas and is used worldwide by companies in a wide range of industries. Due to its relevance for product liability, FMEA is not only used in the automotive industry, but also in areas such as aerospace, medical technology, and the consumer goods industry.
The seminar will present the AIAG/VDA procedures and their special features in comparison to a general, cross-industry FMEA.
FMEA is a key methodological tool for identifying and avoiding potential risks in the early stages of product and process development and for ensuring quality through preventive measures. The structured application of the method promotes teamwork and project work in particular, as well as the establishment of sustainable knowledge management.
The basic seminar provides participants with a comprehensive overview of the possible applications of FMEA and its integration into the quality management system. Practical examples are used to clearly explain the differences between system, product, and process FMEA and their interfaces.
Seminar Content
- Development of FMEA and its fundamentals
- FMEA Basic knowledge
- Introduction to FMEA
- Application and implementation in practice
- The five (seven) steps for creating the design/product/process FMEA
- Risk assessment using task priorities (TP) and risk matrices
- Linking design/product FMEA and process FMEA
- Cost analysis for FMEA (in the 2-day seminar)
Through group work, you will systematically learn how to identify and assess potential risks and define targeted measures for improvement. The practical application of the necessary FMEA steps for creating product and process FMEAs in moderated small groups will help you to consolidate the knowledge you have learned and put it directly into practice.
