Design Failure Mode & Effects Analysis Training
(DFMEA Training)

DFMEA, or Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, is typically used in the early stage of the product lifecycle and development as a troubleshooting and assurance process and tool.

Design FMEA training helps design engineers, verification engineers, and project/product managers to proactively analyze, investigate, troubleshoot and uncover potential failure, quality, performance, and safety and hazards issues.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is defined as a regular technique used to inhibit failure. Such action is conducted through the exploration of potential failure modes and the reasons can cause such failure. FMEA actions occur within a team activity by tackling high severity, high occurrence, and high detection rankings that is determined by the analysis. Only through the preventive process of FMEA we can assure the product performance is satisfactory and the chance of the product failure is reduced. The Design FMEA training course will help you explore these steps in detail and learn how to put them in action to prevent the system failure.
