Failure Mode Effective Criticality  Analysis (FMECA) Training Course 

Failure Mode Effects Criticality Analysis Training Course

​

Overview

This two-day Failure Mode Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) training course introduces the topics of design and process FMECA to your team by teaching the theory using practical examples from your own business.  Delegates are provided with basic fundamentals and are led through the techniques for producing a FMECA. 

 

FMECA is an important technique

in the field of reliability assessment; it can provide valuable information to feed into both design as well maintenance strategies. It provides a comprehensive identification and evaluation of the unwanted failure modes of components or sub-systems within a system, and the effects these failures have on the system. Criticality analysis enables the seriousness of these failures to be assessed.

 

Why FMECA

The need for asset integrity is a key driver for any industry. Improving maintenance and reliability ensures the optimum performance of assets against a backdrop of regulatory, safety and cost pressures. Maintenance needs to improve the integrity and availability of assets while minimising costs.

 

FMECA

is a methodology for predicting potential failures and the consequences of those failures. The output of the analysis is used to direct effort appropriately into preventing failures, with the overall aim of reducing the risk of failure to an acceptable level.

 

Criticality analysis

is a key technique for understanding which items of equipment, or systems, are most important to operations.  Knowing which items are most critical allows engineers to prioritise maintenance effort into the most beneficial and necessary areas for the business. When applied effectively criticality analysis and FMECA both result in optimising equipment maintenance policies that save money and increase reliability.
