Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)

What you will learn:
This tool for high risk analysis has been used in almost all industries but unfortunately it is usually used too late. It must be used before the requirement specifications are approved.

You will learn how to prepare and utilize FMECA to improve reliability, safety, testability, and maintainability. This course will describe the misuses the methodology and how to do it correctly for robust performance for a more reliable, testable and maintainable product.

Abstract:
This course will describe FMECA methodology through successful industry case histories and its multiple uses for a more reliable, testable and maintainable product.

Who should attend:
Engineers and managers of all disciplines, including marketing, and maintenance, will find this course resulting in extremely high return on investment for their companies.
