FMEA: How To Perform a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Tutorial

Posted on 04. Jun, 2009 by Monique in Video Tutorials

FMEA

stands for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. This DMAIC tool is used to evaluate risk in a process. FMEA will help to improve the quality and safety of work tasks. Using this SigmaXL template will allow you to document a baseline for improvement and provide compelling data to confirm a need for changes to the current process. Detection level is critical to quantify the cost of poor quality. You would never want to pass on a defect to a customer or create an environment that puts employees at a risk of injury. FMEA encourages a proactive approach when used to assess risk in newly designed products or processes. This tutorial demonstrates how to use SigmaXL software to record before and after risk levels. View video for more information on this technique.
