Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis

Share this course

This interactive, practical course will provide guidance on performing a machinery Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) from start to finish including failure mode identification, effects assignment and pre/post risk mitigation criticality judgement. Many of the exercises in this class are performed in groups of 4-5 minimum on a white board or paper. Each group will find a volunteer facilitator that will be responsible for leading the discussion. Facilitator skills and ground rules will be established.

Objectives:

Obtain guidance on performing a maintenance FMECA from start to finish including failure mode identification, effects assignment and pre/post risk mitigation criticality judgement.
Experience the FMECA process using a simple step by step format with examples and group exercises at each stage to lock in the knowledge gained ensuring it can be replicated back in the working environment.
