The way the course was given certainly improved the perspective of the FMEA work which is in general perceived as a very "dry subject".

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
[FMEA]
This technique is useful for identifying potential problems related to design and production processes that have an impact on the use of a product. Performing an FMEA is a mandatory step during preparation phases of the design and production processes, as well as during the design or evaluation of any subsequent modifications.
This technique can greatly contribute to preventive actions aimed at identifying the risks and impacts of a product failing in the hands of the customer or during the manufacturing process. This benefit is accomplished in part by calculating the Risk Priority associated with each potential problem, based on the severity of the problem, the probability of its occurrence and which preventive measures are in place. Although an FMEA is particularly useful during the design or modification of a product, or during the preparation or modification of production processes, it is nonetheless relevant to all of an organization’s activities. FMEAs are compatible with the requirements of ISO Technical Specification 16949, as well as with other sector-specific standards based on ISO 9001. The prioritization of potential problems can greatly contribute to the preventive approach of any organization.
OBJECTIVES
This 1-day or 2-day course is designed to provide a working understanding of the application of the FMEA technique. It will enable participants to acquire the knowledge and techniques to:
understand the principles behind the analysis
discover and understand the relevant requirements
apply the methods and techniques recommended in the AIAG FMEA Manual.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Personnel involved, directly or indirectly, in design and analysis activities at first-tier OEM or replacement parts suppliers, as well as at second-tier suppliers of parts.
PREREQUISITE
Although not a prerequisite, a general knowledge of the requirements presented in ISO/TS 16949 or other sector-specific standard, or even knowledge of ISO 9001, is recommended.
