Failure analysis is a good skill to learn if you want to become a senior materials engineer, materials process engineer, or failure analysis technician. Here are the top courses to learn failure analysis:
1. FMEA: Failure, Modes, Effects, Analysis
The FMEA (Failure, Modes, Effects, Analysis) tool is by far one of the best root cause analysis tools out there. As a tool, you can deploy this in both a reactive and proactive way. You can use it to identify what has gone wrong, why it has gone wrong and what potentially you could do to fix this for the longer term. Equally, if you are looking to build out a new process or reengineer and existing one and you want to know what COULD go wrong, the FMEA can do just this. Therefore, this could will educate you on how to use this tool effectively in a range of scenarios. In this course, we will cover:- The fundamentals of the FMEA (what the FMEA is, its purpose and importance etc.)- What root cause analysis is.- How and when you should use the tool.- A breakdown of each section of the tool and how to deploy them.- The overall process of how to build, deploy and implement the findings from an FMEA. - Real life examples of how I have deployed FMEAs in multiple industries and businesses. At the end of this course, you will be able to effectively deploy this fantastic tool in organisations large and small, in services and manufacturing, in your team and across your business...
2. Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis - Concepts & Practice
Design Failure Mode Effect and Analysis (DFMEA) is a very important tool for the design engineer to develop designs which are reliable and safe. This course will take you through the concepts and process of developing a DFMEA. What the course will cover? Need for DFMEADefining failure modesCause and Root cause analysis using Fishbone diagramsEvaluation of Risk - Severity, Occurence and DetectionWhat is Design prevention control and Design detection control / Design verification Grading of severity, occurence and detectionThe systematic process of DFMEAWhat is B diagram and how to prepare B diagram with multiple examplesWhat is P diagram and how to prepare P diagram with multiple examplesDFMEA walkthrough of a Bicycle Exercises for learning by doing. The course is well suited for Mechanical design engineers or aspiring students who want to learn how to design effectively and consider possible failure modes. The class focusses on the concepts and underlying reasoning rather than a descriptive approach. Developing a good DFMEA is critical for complex system engineering work and hence its a key skill to develop for career growth and innovation...
3. Risk Management using Failure Modes Effects Analysis (Ed-2)
SECOND EDITION (2019)Key ChangesIncludes case study examples for Manufacturing, Transaction Processing, Banking, Info SecurityCovers Update on AIAG VDA 2019 FMEA Revision Is a glorious failure is better than a petty success? I'm all for the petty success. A glorious failure leads to nothing; a petty success may lead to a success that is not petty - Arnold Bennett. Every action or in-action in Business involves a potential risk. As a manager of a process, an entrepreneur or a sales manager, you can scoop up success and avoid failures with your tact and vigil. But that will consume you energy and time, leaving you exhausted. Instead a systematic approach to identifying and managing potential issues in your business processes can mean better & consistent business results and 'peace of mind'. The aim of this course is to allow you to understand the foundation skills in Risk Management beyond today's hype and buzzwords-and describes how an entrepreneur, business manager can turn their firefighting efforts into proactive actionable insights. A novice to risk management will equally benefit through this course. Unlike many foundation course, this course quickly deep dives to a Risk Management Tool used by NASA called Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and shows how best to apply it to specific business problems and opportunities within their organization. There is more than 1 reason to consider this course: Receive FMEA Certification on successful completion of project work (details included)Free FMEA Template and Step-by-Step instructions covered in detailExamples for various industries including Manufacturing and Services includedBy the end of the course, you will be able to apply the FMEA to any specific situation of your process or business and effectively eliminate/reduce associates risks by carrying out the following steps: Proactively identify all potential issues across the business Analyze impact of the each issue, its occurrence & existing control mechanisms Prioritize risk that need immediate actionSystematically plan response/mitigation planImplement and reassessMonitoring and control risks ongoing basis...
