Reliability and Maintenance Engineering – FMEA

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis - A mechanical engineering approach to risk management of plant and machinery

Created by: Jarrod Austin
Engineering Reliability Manager

What Will I Learn?

• Learn to facilitate or participate in Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) and using the associated tools
• The FMEA method taught aligns with the International Standard for FMEA/FMECA Studies (EN 60812)
• FMEA process from start to finish - What to look for and hints on how to fast-track the process.
• How to evaluate the risk of component failure - Find your "pain points" and prioritize your efforts.
• How to mitigate the risks of such failure - Learn how to modify the plant or process to reduce the chance of failure.
• FMEA - Its use during the Maintenance and Repair of Plant or Machinery
• FMEA - Its use during the Design and Modification of Plant or Machinery
• The content covered is relevant to those studying towards the Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (CMRP) exam

Requirements

• This training package references engineering systems plants and processes as examples however no specific engineering knowledge is required to follow the process

Target audience

• Anyone involved in a lean environment, manufacturing or design - specifically engineering or maintenance teams. Although the content has an engineering focus the principles can be applied elsewhere.
