Failure Modes & Effects Analysis for Design (DFMEA)

1-Day Training Session (Demonstration DFMEA)

2-Day Workshop (Actual DFMEA Practice)

3-Day Workshop (DFMEA Practice with Robustness Tools)

 

 

Who Should Attend

Anyone involved in planning, design, or implementation of a system, product, or manufacturing process.

 

Purpose of the Training

This training program provides the skills and knowledge needed to understand how things can go wrong in product designs--and how to plan and act to reduce the likelihood of negative consequences. During this training, you will:

 

·    Discover how to gain insight and understanding about your system, product, or manufacturing process that can directly improve customer satisfaction and repeat purchase behavior

·    Find out how you can minimize the impact of “things gone wrong”

·    Develop an actual FMEA on a common product to directly apply skills and concepts presented

·    See how standard forms can guide the FMEA process

 

What You Will Learn

·  How DFMEA and Design Verification are linked—and why this is a critical issue

·  How failure mode is related to function, and why many FMEA studies fail to make this clear

·  How to define project scope, using block diagrams & interface matrix analysis

·  How to deduce failure effects—and why effects, modes, and causes are often confused

·  Why function is the fundamental driver of world-class DFMEA studies

·  How to avoid misunderstanding about cause and effect relationships using simple techniques

·  How to generate a comprehensive statement of function using a function diagram

·  Why prevention controls are more important than detection controls

·  How function diagrams drive the generation of product engineering specifications

·  How to quantitatively assess risk in design & release activities—and address this risk

·  How to generate interface matrices (both Ford and GM methods) and why this is useful

·  How to enter information into Ford’s Reliability & Robustness Checklist system

·  How to construct a P-diagram and how this drives both DFMEA and Design of Experiments

·  Why Critical and Significant Characteristics and Parameters require special attention
