Abstract

Carl and Chris discussing the future of FMEA, sharing their vision for where FMEA as a method is headed, as well as where we think it should be headed.

Key Points

Join Carl and Chris as they discuss the standards and methodology of FMEA, and analyze the trends that impact its use and value.

• What are the trends that affect FMEAs:? Are they positive of negative?
• The two types of FMEA users
• Should you follow FMEA standards exactly, or can they be tailored to your application?
• Understanding the fundamentals of FMEA is essential to properly use FMEA standards
• The role of Corrective Actions in applying FMEAs
• Next generation of FMEA standard is SAE 1025
• Keep your eye on the ball: reduce risk to acceptable level
• We don’t need both acronyms FMEA and FMECA; both have a criticality analysis.
• FMEAs that are done early in the product development process are usually qualitative.
• Future is to use specific selection criteria to select when FMEA is used; preliminary risk assessment
• Future is to balance automation of selective portion of FMEAs, with team involvement on high-risk areas.
• Future is an integration of Model-Based Engineering with FMEA procedure

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques to field data analysis approaches.
