FMEA Training Course Details (Offsite)

Quality-One Technical Training Centers provide an environment without interruption from daily activities. This FMEA course benefits individuals and organizations with less than five people requiring a working knowledge of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The course is also held in a setting free of normal work interruptions, which increases knowledge transfer.

The activities are developed around principles that all participants (from diverse backgrounds) can relate to. Offsite training permits participants to interact with others from different disciplines and share different viewpoints and experiences. Discussing the unique challenges from various industries keeps interest high. Many times, best practices from one industry are often shared to the benefit of others.

FMEA Training Course Description (Offsite)

Offsite FMEA training follows a step-by-step method of conducting FMEA in an engaging instructor-led format. The course describes proven methodology for proper FMEA development. Each student will have the ability to develop a Design and Process FMEA including use of robustness tools, Process Flow Chart and Control Plans.

Participants will learn how to assess Risk and determine which levels of risk require mitigation. We’ll also cover action plans that result from FMEAs and ways to manage FMEA data for future use. Participants can expect team activities and relevant exercises in a workshop format. The Quality-One reference materials and examples also provide an invaluable resource for review time after time.

FMEA Training Course Objectives (Offsite)

The objectives of Quality-One FMEA offsite training courses are to:

• Perform Product and Process FMEAs
• Link FMEA to the Product Development Process and Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)
• Facilitate a FMEA
• Participate in the development of a Design and Process FMEA
• Define Risk and determine levels of Risk requiring mitigation
• Set up an effective Cross Functional Team required for FMEA Development
• Efficiently select Severity, Occurrence and Detection rankings
• Implement a Risk Priority Number (RPN) reduction process
• Determine design and process special characteristics
• Understand and demonstrate the links between Design FMEA and Process FMEA
• Understand the different types of Design and Process FMEAs
  • System
  • Subsystem
  • Component
  • Assembly
  • Manufacturing
• Create and manage action plans derived from FMEA
• Manage and store FMEA content for future use
• Understand links between FMEA and problem solving methods, such as:
  • Eight Disciplines of Problem Solving (8D)
  • 5 Why
  • Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
  • A3
  • Plan Do Check Act (PDCA)
  • Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC)
  • Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)
• Understand links to Control Plan Methodology. Save time and cost that come with sending associates to conferences and seminars at offsite locations.
