Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
FMEA is an indispensable tool for analyzing product designs and organizational processes. Costs of poor quality can be significantly reduced by anticipating failure and risks to customer satisfaction by building quality into product designs, manufacturing and service delivery processes.
Devos Associates provides training and facilitation for FMEA across a variety of industries. Our two day course is available for both Design FMEA and Process FMEA. Our experts can also come on-site to work with your team to create an effective FMEA that meets your and your customers' needs. We have recently added two new courses to address the new automotive industry AIAG-VDA FMEA 1st Edition, which was developed jointly by the German VDA and the American AIAG.
