Manufacturing Insights: Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Manufacturing Insights: Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Produced By Society of Manufacturing Engineers 
Program Outline
The program is an introduction to the quality methodology Failure Mode Effects
Analysis (FMEA).
Since Risk Reduction is a corporate goal that has impact outside of the quality
and manufacturing departments, sometimes new team members are called in to join
the FMEA development team. This video is good for these new team members to
give them a quick general understanding of why an FMEA is performed.
Learning Objectives:
A general understanding of why companies do FMEAs
What is the difference between a product and process risk?
What can companies do to minimize risks?
- See how FMEA documents track responsibilities to reduce risks

Abstract
This video was produced in cooperation with Robert Bosch Corporation in Farmington
Hills, Michigan. The program is an introduction to the quality methodology Failure
Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA). As every new product is being designed, most manufacturing
companies are developing FMEA documents to reduce the risk of product failures.
In addition, quality standards like ISO9000 and QS9000 require an FMEA on all
new products. To shorten development cycles, many different experts are involved
in the design and testing phases of new products. After viewing this tape, every
person on your design team will have a good understanding of the importance
of risk reduction and how the FMEA will keep track of these responsibilities.
This video was design to quickly bring all the team members up to speed on how
the FMEA methods and procedures will impact them. Learning Objectives: A general
understanding of why companies do FMEAs; What is the difference between a product
and a process risk?; What can companies do to minimize risks?; See how FMEA
documents track responsibilities to reduce risks; How an FMEA is used within
Robert Bosch Corporation.
