FMEA moderator

Course objectives

The objective of the course is to teach participants to lead and run a discussion on a selected FMEA project. The moderator's task is to guide the team and guide the team participants towards the right solutions. At the same time, the moderator ensures compliance with the methodology and the set time schedule. The moderator is required to have a basic knowledge of FMEA methodology and to participate in the past as a member of the FMEA implementation team within the company.

Course content

• Basic principles of moderation of the interdisciplinary FMEA team, differences in moderation of Design FMEA and Process FMEA
• Planning and effective preparation of the moderator for the FMEA team meeting
• Compilation of FMEA team and time schedule of FMEA creation process, i.e. clarification of 5T in terms of the new harmonized manual AIAG & VDA FMEA
• Leading the discussion and monitoring compliance with the 7-step methodology in accordance with the new harmonized AIAG & VDA FMEA manual:
• Step 1: Planning and preparation - identification of the project plan and area of analysis, 5T
• Step 2: Structural analysis - visualization of the analysis object (Structural and block diagrams, process diagrams), identification of subsystems and process steps
• Step 3 - Functional analysis - visualization of functionality (P-diagram, Process flow diagram), a cascade of risks from the manufacturer to the user
• Step 4 - Failure analysis - determination of the failure chain, definition of the failure consequence, failure mode and cause of failure using Fishbone / Cause and effect diagram
• Step 5 - Risk analysis - evaluation of criteria S, O, D and risk according to the priority matrix (AP matrix)
• Step 6 - Optimization - identification of activities necessary for risk mitigation, implementation of corrective measures and their evaluation
• Step 7 - Documenting the results - communication of the results of the management, the customer and the conclusion of the analysis, documenting the corrective measures, including their effectiveness
• Communication techniques and ways to guide the FMEA team during failure analysis, evaluation of criteria and definition of AP matrix level (high, medium, low)
• How to effectively lead a brainstorming team in creating a Fishbone diagram / 5x Why and defining the categorization of disturbances (4M: Man, Machine, Material, Environment)
• Supervision over the documentation of results from the FMEA, evaluation of the effectiveness of the implementation of corrective measures for management
• Common errors and shortcomings in the implementation of FMEA analyzes
• FMEA moderation practice and training with video
• FMEA moderation feedback with video analysis
