DFMEA Overview and Application
During this DFMEA Overview and Application course, participants will be introduced to important FMEA concepts, the basic theory behind the concepts, then discuss how these concepts can be applied to the customer's design FMEA activities. Participant activities include: reading assignments, group discussions, exercises, building Block Diagrams as a group, and beginning a DFMEA on a customer’s product.
What Will You Learn
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Explain basic reliability concepts as related to the application of the DFMEA
- Explain the philosophy behind the FMEA process as related to the prevention of product/service failures
- Build and/or play a role on a cross functional team to complete the DFMEA
- Identify the collection of information necessary for the completion of the DFMEA
- Build and use a Block Diagram to guide the DFMEA analysis
- Correctly play an effective role in conducting the DFMEA
- Explain the difference between the DFMEA and the PFMEA
- Analyze DFMEA results and follow up properly with appropriate Design Controls or other corrective actions
Is This Course For You
DFMEA Overview and Application Program will provide training to a manufacturer’s engineering, development, operations, quality and administrative personnel. These individuals are typically involved in the development and production of parts for direct use in the manufacture of automobiles.
