Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a powerful technique designed to help the engineer improve the quality and reliability of design. When properly used, FMEA provides numerous benefits, including improved product/process reliability and quality, increased customer satisfaction, early identification and elimination of potential product/process failure modes, and prioritization of product/process deficiencies. It also facilitates capturing engineering/organization knowledge, emphasizes problem prevention, documents risk and actions taken to reduce risk, and provides focus for improved testing and development.

Applying this technique serves to identify critical parameters and support the continual improvement of products and services. Doing a comprehensive FMEA up-front, when product /process can be most easily and inexpensively implemented, will alleviate late-change crises. The process is disciplined, interactive and never- ending, and many industries require FMEAs as a preventive tool.

This audio conference introduces the topic of FMEA and provides a general guidance in the application of this powerful prevention technique.
