Outlines the correct procedures for doing FMEAs and how tosuccessfully apply them in design, development, manufacturing, andservice applications
There are a myriad of quality and reliability tools available tocorporations worldwide, but the one that shows up consistently incompany after company is Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).Effective FMEAs takes the best practices from hundreds ofcompanies and thousands of FMEA applications and presentsstreamlined procedures for veteran FMEA practitioners, novices, andeveryone in between.
Written from an applications viewpoint--with many examples,detailed case studies, study problems, and tips included--thebook covers the most common types of FMEAs, including System FMEAs,Design FMEAs, Process FMEAs, Maintenance FMEAs, Software FMEAs, andothers. It also presents chapters on Fault Tree Analysis, DesignReview Based on Failure Mode (DRBFM), Reliability-CenteredMaintenance (RCM), Hazard Analysis, and FMECA (which addscriticality analysis to FMEA).
With extensive study problems and a companion Solutions Manual,this book is an ideal resource for academic curricula, as well asfor applications in industry. In addition, Effective FMEAscovers:
* The basics of FMEAs and risk assessment
* How to apply key factors for effective FMEAs and prevent themost common errors
* What is needed to provide excellent FMEA facilitation
* Implementing a "best practice" FMEA process
Everyone wants to support the accomplishment of safe andtrouble-free products and processes while generating happy andloyal customers. This book will show readers how to use FMEA toanticipate and prevent problems, reduce costs, shorten productdevelopment times, and achieve safe and highly reliable productsand processes.
