Abstract

Carl and Fred discussing the application of FMEAs in support of asset maintenance.

Key Points

Join Carl and Fred as they discuss the subject of FMEAs and Maintenance; and difference between FMEAs done in support of product development (Design FMEAs) and FMEAs done in support of maintenance or Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) programs.

Topics include:

• Design for Maintainability; Design for Service
• Causes in Design FMEAs are taken to the level of potential design deficiencies
• Causes in Maintenance FMEAs are taken to maintenance actionable level
• Recommended actions in Design FMEA support design improvements
• Recommended actions in Maintenance FMEA support maintenance improvements
• How should Design FMEAs and Maintenance FMEAs be connected?
• RCM Decision Logic Diagrams in Maintenance FMEA vs Effect descriptions in Design FMEA
• Reliability professionals should understand both product development and operations
• Be aware of failure rate handbooks, and the assumptions that go into the information
• Put an asterisk on failure rate data that is from handbooks

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.
