Machinery Faliure Mode & Effects Analysis

The Machinery FMEA is a methodology for assessing risk & identifying any weaknesses in the functionality of a Machine (tooling) and guarding against them prior to committing the design to manufacture.
It is performed after the Reliability & Maintainability study has identified the requirements for the Machine. This is vital in terms of machine reliability, quality and running cost achievement.
The MFMEA methodology is fundamentally different from Design and Process FMEA encompassing the latest thinking including Robustness linkages.
 
These include :
  • Boundary Diagram
  • Interface Matrix
  • Function Analysis
  • Failure Modes
  • Classifications
  • Recommended Actions
  • Practical Application of the Ranking Tables
  • Ongoing Maintenance of your FMEA
  • Effects of Failure
  • Causes of Failure
  • Prevention Controls
  • Detection Control
  • Establishing Priority
  • AS DFMEA
The basic objectives of the course are :
  •  To ensure participants have a full understanding of the linkages between Design FMEA, Process FMEA and Machinery FMEA
  •  To coach a participant with no current understanding of Machinery FMEA into gaining a working knowledge of the methodology
  •  To explain the importance of Function and the relationships between them
  •  To explain the practical requirements for a timely FMEA to maximise the benefit at minimal cost
  • & To outline the importance of the recommended actions
  • To assist with the learning the Application Workshop & Facilitated Deployment is conducted on a product of your choice.

The course is available :

  •  1 day Awareness Session
  •  2 day Training course
  •  3+ day Facilitated Deployment
  •  4 day Subject Facilitator training

Awareness Session
 
A 1 Day introduction to Machinery FMEA. Delegates will understand the use of function trees,  ranking tables & typical mistakes and errors. The importance of timing and teamwork in any product launch programme.

Application Workshop

 
On completion the attendee will be able to :
  •  Understand the importance of Machinery FMEA
  •  Appreciate the need to think in terms of ‘Functionality’
  •  Know how to conduct a Machinery FMEA
  •  Appreciate the challenges faced in the practical deployment of Machinery FMEA and how to tackle the challenge in a time efficient manner.

Facilitated Deployment

 
The emphasis of this course, in addition to teaching the practical application of the methodology, is to continue with the task utilising the software to successful completion of the Machinery FMEA.

Subject Facilitator

 
The emphasis of this course, in addition to teaching the practical application of the methodology, is to enable the delegates to be successful Facilitators able to lead Machinery FMEA teams.

All training is provided conveniently at your own site for up to 10 delegates. All you need to provide is the room, your normal catering & of course the delegates.
