In world-class facilities that practice Asset Management based upon Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is the foremost foundational tool utilized. The FMEA is a cornerstone and provides the basis from which a highly effective proactive asset management program can be developed and sustained. When properly performed, the FMEA will systematically evaluate physical assets for their design, function, operating context, failures and consequences. These failures and consequences (sometimes catastrophic) lead to unreliable assets, injuries, lost production opportunities and reduced profit margins.
This webinar will demonstrate the basics of performing an FMEA process and its benefit, confirming why it is the keystone to creating and sustaining a reliable facility, organization or industry.
What You Will Learn:
The difference between Reliability and Maintenance
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and its development of FMEA
How to apply the seven basic RCM questions to the framework of an FMEA
The differences between Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Assessment (FMECA) and Asset Criticality Ranking (ACR)
System Boundaries, Operating Context, Design Failures and Hidden Failures
Pre-FMEA input resources and how they affect FMEA output
How to optimize tasks to prevent, mitigate or detect failure modes
The four categories of PM tasks
Critical Spare Part Stocking Strategy from FMEAs
How to achieve lean maintenance, minimum life cycle costs, maximum asset reliability and sustainability with FMEAs
