Process FMEA

Processes rarely fail completely unexpectedly. The warning signs are often present but go unrecognised. FMEA provides the structure to identify risks and implement preventive measures before issues arise.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a proven risk analysis tool for systematically identifying potential failure modes, their effects, and causes. By implementing preventive and detective measures at an early stage, you can prevent failures or detect them in time. In an increasing number of sectors, FMEA is a mandatory component for the release of new products and processes.

In this training, you will work according to the AIAG and VDA harmonisation of 2019 and follow the 7-step approach for setting up a Process FMEA. You will conclude by drawing up a Control Plan. You will be guided by consultants who apply this daily in practice.
