Track 2 Session 1
9:10 to 10:10 a.m. Wednesday March 25, 2009
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Basics
FMEA is a tool that is commonly used to identify risk items
and rank them so that unacceptable risks can be removed from the product and/or process. There
are different types of FMEAs, such as Process FMEA, User FMEA, Software FMEA, System FMEA, Service
FMEA, etc. The most difficult of the FMEAs is the Design FMEA, and this session is crafted to show
the differences between the Design FMEA and the other types of FMEAs. This session shows how to
prepare for the FMEA; who to invite; how to execute the FMEA as the facilitator; how to keep the
records; how to rank and analyze the risks; and how to create and track the action items needed
to remove and/or reduce the risk elements.
Key Words: Risk, Failure, Safety, Prevention, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Mission,
Reliability, Facilitation
