Process FMEA – Risk Identification and Reduction

Overview / who should attend and why?

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is becoming a tool required by many companies to prove to customers and management that all potential risks have been identified and either eliminated or mitigation plans put in place.  This course is designed for engineers, managers or improvement personnel to highlight what process FMEA is and how to use it to identify and reduce risk.  This course uses a simulation game to practise using the tool.  If you are looking to move into full production, improve or launch a process then FMEA can help.  This systematic process pioneered by NASA will enable risks to be understood and then eliminated in the most effective manner.
