Synopsis:

Meeting requirements established by the big-three automakers, this volume introduces work teams to Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Mandated by the QS-9000 standard, FMEA positions quality control personnel to identify special causes of variation before they occur, thus preventing failures, defects, and errors, mostly before they are manifested. Recognized as a versatile and effective continuous improvement tool, FMEA serves any industry in which error prevention is vital to profit. The process establishes a systematic method for determining causes and creates a common language for FMEA teams - a method easily transferred to other industries.

Synopsis: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) can actually help prevent failures, defects and error, because FMEA's identify special causes of variation before they occur. This is why the automotive industry's QS-9000 standard requires their use. But FMEA Is a valuable tool for any industry in which defect prevention is important. This book: Explains failure mode and effect analysis simply and concisely. Discusses when to use FMEA's (e.g., during design, manufacturing, etc.) Shows how to perform FMEA's step-by-step.
