Foundations for Effective FMEAs

Learn failure modes and effects analysis using ReliaSoft XFMEA (FMEA or FMECA) with online instructor-led training!

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for preventing failure through risk discovery and mitigation of potential failure modes and associated causes. The Foundations for Effective FMEAs training seminar provides an overview of the concepts and procedures for FMEA and related analyses. The course provides understanding of best in class FMEA processes, including how to utilize lessons learned from past analyses to help reduce product development time and effort. Software used This course will help you understand FMEA essentials with an emphasis on the use of ReliaSoft XFMEA software for analysis, data management and reporting.

Our ONLINE courses are delivered in real-time with an instructor available to answer questions.

Learning Objectives

• Learn the best practice step-by-step process for performing FMEAs
• Proactively consider potential failures, prioritize issues based on risk and then initiate improvements early in development when modifications tend to have the biggest impact for the lowest cost
• Examine the key factors that contribute to successful FMEA projects and how to implement an effective FMEA process
