2.0 Course Description

 

Students will progress through a step-by-step, practical application of Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) in a dynamic instructor-led case study. This course details the best practice methodologies for: identifying critical product or system components, service attributes, and/or process steps; isolating specific potential failure modes and associated consequences; analyzing the root cause(s) for failure modes; prioritizing failure modes using multiple criteria (Severity, Occurrence, and Detection), and; developing and managing failure mitigation and action plans. We will also discuss data management methods required to support ongoing FMECA assessments.
