September 16, 2010 Dinner Meeting

Risk Assessment Using Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Presented by Angelo Scangus

 

Your ability to predict and evaluate potential failure modes is crucial. Whether you work in a complex engineering and manufacturing environment, or a process-oriented one, such as a hospital, laboratory or school system this course will benefit you. Utilizing FMEA to successfully determine failure mode, cause and effect, will help you prevent the threat of potentially damaging failure modes. 


A well-designed FMEA process allows you to: Identify those failures that have unwanted effects on system operation; Allow improvements of the system's reliability or safety and maintainability.


You'll learn to: Determine the right time to initiate FMEA; Identify and classify potential failure modes; Evaluate potential failure mode severity and probability; Maximize FMEA as a flexible tool to meet your industry or product-specific needs.
