Reliability Engineering & Risk Analysis
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
This course targets maintenance, reliability, quality, and production engineers wanting to master FMEA methodology to identify equipment and process vulnerabilities and mitigate operational risks proactively using Risk Priority Numbers (RPN).
Duration: 3 Intensive Days
Verified Certificate
Target Audience
Maintenance & Reliability Engineers & Analysts.
Quality, Safety, and Process Engineers.
Mechanical and industrial system/product designers.
Maintenance planners and asset managers developing PM/PdM plans.
What You Will Learn
Understanding FMEA Types
Differentiate between Design FMEA (DFMEA) and Process/System FMEA (PFMEA).
RPN Evaluation & Calculation
Calculate Risk Priority Number based on Severity, Occurrence, and Detection.
Corrective Action Plans
Translate analysis results into proactive preventive and predictive maintenance actions.
Integration with RCM & Documentation
Use FMEA outputs as a foundation for RCM and maintain living documentation records.
