Control risks with Process FMEA




This training course positions FMECA within the broader framework of continuous improvement and risk management in accordance with ISO 31000. You'll learn how to identify the critical moments and best practices in process animation, and thus avoid the pitfalls frequently encountered that make FMECA cumbersome and uninspiring.

Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Understand the basic steps of FMECA
Manage an FMECA, particularly during its critical stages
Making an FMECA motivating and value-creating
Use FMEA within a broader framework of continuous improvement and risk management

Intended audience
Project managers, personnel from methods, quality, production, maintenance, continuous improvement and Lean departments.

Prerequisites
No special knowledge required.

Practical details
Role-playing
Practical work, workshop based on a real case proposed by participants, used and developed at each stage of the training.
Teaching methods
Active, participative teaching methods. Alternating theory and practice with application to the context and experience of participants.

Course schedule

1
Objectives and benefits of Process FMEA

  • Distinguish between product FMECA and process FMECA.
  • Identify the conditions for implementing FMECA.
  • Understanding FMECA as a tool for continuous improvement.

2
Design the upstream phase of the FMECA study

  • Define the team and roles.
  • Anticipate the elements of the study to limit the length of meetings.
  • Make sure you have correctly identified the limits of the FMECA study.
Group discussion
Share experiences to identify the motivating and de-motivating aspects of an FMECA.

3
Identify failures, their causes and effects

  • Identify actual and potential failures.
  • Identify causes methodically to go beyond the obvious.
  • Comprehensive analysis of induced effects.
Case study
Use of complementary tools (5M, brainstorming, etc.) to ensure the most complete analysis possible.

4
Rating cause and effect to estimate the criticality of a failure mode

  • Estimate severity: use severity grids.
  • Estimate occurrence and detectability.
  • Calculate criticality and compare it with action thresholds.
  • Quote quickly and efficiently.
Case study
Criticality scoring, in particular to identify the impact of complex rating grids.

5
Define an action plan and monitor its effectiveness

  • Define actions by consensus.
  • Build a realistic and achievable action plan.
  • Monitoring the action plan: responsibilities and approach.
Role-playing
Define together an effective corrective action sheet to motivate players to get involved. Feedback on best practices in steering improvement actions.

6
FMEA as part of a more global approach

  • Integrate FMEA into the continuous improvement process.
  • Improve process reliability with or without FMECA.
  • Identify the complementarities between FMECA and Lean Management.
  • Take advantage of 8D as part of an FMECA study.
  • Use Statistical Process Control (SPC) as part of FMEA.
Group discussion
Discussions on the conditions for a well-managed process.

I would have liked more theoretical presentations, especially at the beginning of the course, rather than starting straight away with a practical exercise and seeing the theory quickly at the end.

Too much time spent on individual presentations. Not enough theory. Unpleasant way of speaking.

The training was interesting and gave me a better idea of how to frame the FMECA during the various sessions. The example spoke volumes to everyone, but from my point of view it's difficult to transpose it to the assessment of certain risks for the sector of activity in which I'd like to apply it. It was also very interesting to hear the views of people outside my own sector.
