09 – The 4 Pitfalls of OEM Recommendations

The 4 Pitfalls of OEM Recommendations

This episode of the weekly podcast covers the 4 Pitfalls of OEM Recommendations.

The original equipment manufacturers provide a manual in which all the general instructions are provided in the form of an operating manual.

These can be helpful when someone is using the equipment for the first time but when the same apparatus has to be used in reputed organizations with a set-up of their own, this manual is not enough.

It is developed keeping in mind the general behavior of instruments and common environmental condition of workshops and laboratories.

Most of the times, manufacturers put together these recommendations considering the worst that can go wrong to cover their warranty policies.

That is why the organizations cannot rely only on this operating manual.

FMEAs from an Expert’s Point of View with Fred Schenkelberg

You arrive in the office early Monday morning, and you receive an email from your boss.  It is one that you have been dreaded for days.

You have been told that you are participating in a Failure Mode Effect Analysis for the next week.

Failure Mode Effect Analysis is often feared and avoided by many.  Mainly because they are not well understood or people have been forced to sit through FMEAs that were not facilitated properly.

06 – What is a FMEA and How Can It Help?

What is an FMEA and How Can It Help?

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a design, a manufacturing or assembly process.

“Failure modes” means the ways, or modes, in which something might fail.

Failures are any errors or defects, especially ones that affect the customer and can be potential or actual.  They typically include the component, the damage or problem with it and the cause of it

“Effects analysis” refers to studying the consequences of those failures.
