Using methods specified in the AIAG VDA Failure Mode and Effects Analysis FMEA Handbook Edition 1, this two-day training course provides you with a hands-on approach using a case study. You’ll develop a DFMEA using the new methodology and you’ll have the opportunity to practice each of the steps in the new 7 step approach.

Course Aim:

Learn how to develop a design FMEA (DFMEA) in line with the new AIAG VDA FMEA 7 step approach.

How will I benefit?

This course will help you:

• Understand how to implement the 7 step approach
• Understand how to use the severity, occurrence and detection tables
• Understand how to work with action priority tables (AP)
• Understand the linkages between the cost of quality and FMEA and the financial impact FMEA has on performance
• Become a productive team member in the development of the AIAG VDA design FMEA

What will I learn?

Delegates will have the knowledge and skills to:

• Recognize the purpose, objectives of the AIAG and VDA FMEA and the 7 step approach
• Participate in the new 7 step approach including:
  • System analysis – Planning & preparation, structure analysis, and function analysis
  • Failure analysis and risk mitigation – Failure analysis, risk analysis, and optimization
  • Risk communication – Results documentation
• Assign severity occurrence and detection rankings using the new tables based on data provided from the Case Study
• Prioritize actions using the action priority (AP) tables
• Develop the COQ from the process FMEA activity taking account of company level data affected by the PFMEA
• Apply the steps involved to achieve a successful DFMEA using the new 7 step approach
