About FMECA Training

Failure Mode, Effects, Criticality Analysis is a process similar to other Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA), but it is focused on identifying those failure modes that will possibly occur in-service and will likely need remediation, restoration and/or prevention during the life of the equipment.

In contrast to a design FMEA which is focused on the elimination of defects at piece-part levels, FMECA focuses on the systems, components, and levels of indenture that the users of the equipment will likely have to repair and perform maintenance on. The FMECA also adds a criticality analysis that aids in prioritizing failure modes for further analysis and decisions on where resources should be applied. An FMECA is typically less intensive than a traditional design FMEA. A proper FMECA is the foundation for all other supportability analyses.

Our FMECA training provides attendees with the knowledge to begin performing a Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis. For Supportability or Logistics Engineers involved in performing supportability analysis, this course will provide an understanding of how the FMECA process supports the supportability analysis process and the importance of correctly identifying failure modes to ensure that supportability analysis is performed accurately and efficiently. This training is especially beneficial to those involved in Reliability-Centered Maintenance analysis projects or other efforts focused on improving maintenance processes or in-service reliability.
