What you will learn

Perform the FMEA/FMECA analysis on products and design/production processes.

Understand the meaning of criticality analysis.

Perform qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative criticality analysis.

Use criticality matrix and Risk Priority Number to prioritise remedial or preventive actions.

Properly use a FMEA/FMECA worksheet, criticality matrix and report.

"It was a good course, well laid out and detailed. The instructor provided very good examples and resources", Michelle


Course Description

With this course, you will be able to perform, at any level of detail and complexity, a complete Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, Criticality Analysis and Matrix, mastering indexes like Risk, Risk Priority Number, Failure Mode Failure Rate, etc.

Risk Management is an extremely fascinating field, since it helps in foresee and manage hazards and probabilities thereof.

Nowadays, this disciplines is widely used in many fields, and sometimes also required by the legislation. The most common use of risk management are:

- risk evaluation in product design, e.g. during medical devices and machinery design

- financial risk evaluation

- safety on workplace risk assessment 

- design and processes in automotive and aerospace 

- risk evaluation during potentially hazardous processes, like food production, and so on

- risk evaluation in project management

- process control techniques, e.g. six sigma 

We may resort to many different techniques for risk evaluation, however, the most widely used and accepted, is FMEA/FMECA, i.e. Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis.

This methodology follows a bottom-up approach, and starting from the failure of a component (or a phase if we are talking about a process), estimates the final effect and evaluates it consequences. Even if it seems easy to understand at a first sight because of its intuitive concept, actually, performing it thoroughly is not an easy matter, especially if you consider that, the FMEA/FMECA documentation often has a legal value, since you may be asked by the court in case of accidents to show it, in order to prove your design or process was performed with the user safety in mind.

+++++ Have a look at the course curriculum and at the intro lesson +++++

In this course we will study both FMEA and the Criticality Analysis, starting from the basic qualitative analysis to the more complex quantitative criticality analysis (and its representation with the criticality matrix) using modal failure rates, and effect conditional probability.

There are many version of FMEA/FMECA, and in order to provide the most useful and valuable learning experience to you, we will use as a reference the International Standards IEC 60812, "Analysis techniques for reliability - Procedure for failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)" .

However, this standard cover very effectively only FMEA and the qualitative and semi-quantitative  FMECA, not providing much details on quantitative criticality analysis. Therefore, for the latter methodology, I will refer to the methodology borrowed from the US military Standard MIL-STD-1629, which provide a very accurate numerical methodology for the criticality calculation.

Which are also the approaches I use in my professional activity.

In the course, we will also talk about of Process FMEA, PFMEA, with a simplified  example on a cooking process, and of Design FMEA, DFMEA. We will provide various example, on electric toys, cooking process and various components. However you will get the most from the course if you work in the design field, in particular product design or electronic design, and you will find many examples in it.

As we said, FMEA/FMECA are very versatile tools, therefore, once learned its concepts, it will be easy to transfer it to other fields, therefore even if you are not exactly in the product development or electronics field, you will earn valuable information and concepts from this course.

At the end of the course, you will be able to perform, at any level of detail and complexity, a complete Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, and a  Criticality Analysis.

HAPPY LEARNING!!!

Useful knowledge for failure investigation. This course teaches you how to go over each component of a system and determine it failure mode, effect and occurrence. Highly recommend this course.

Well designed course, easy to follow and understand. It gives you a great overview on how to conduct FMEA and FMECA.

Ahora mismo tenemos que hacer analisis de riesgo para producto no conforme asi que este curso en una guia para iniciar con este proceso y dar cumplimientos a los requerimientos de COFEPRIS (NOM-241).

The sound of this course is not acceptable. I think it is amchine sound which is not acceptable for me.

Advantage of bottom to top approach FMEA needs clarification. And why not top to bottom approach not best way.

The flow between sections is clear and easy to understand. Many resources are available as useful examples to start working immediately with this tool. Good job.

Struggling with the accent of the presenter, however, I like the use of easy examples to explain concepts.

the accent of the speaker could nt understand. Somebody having USA or British Accept would have been fine. Also the example "R1" is given for product design and not for process. Would be great if you add a process design as well

Prof Marco went above and beyond to make this course interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed it. People might find it difficult to catch the accent but as a Master's student who have been used to Italian accent, I felt quite comfortable after the first 2-3 chapters. I should have watched preview, the course is a little inclined towards Electrical Engineering. I am a Mechanical Engineer. I would suggest you to not to jump to conclusions as it slowly reaches the core and covers all the concepts.

I really enjoy the details and information outlined in the lectures. Never realized such a thing existed within the business of risk.

This is a very good course but my only issue is that majority of the examples are electrical eng related. Overall I am learning so so much.

One of your most impactful moments were the insights you gleaned based on this course . It showed the power of user testing in shaping a feature roadmap and increases the likelihood that we satisfy .

Information is relevant and to the point, but Slide Download link or a theoretical content should be provided along with videos

Sections are too short, meaning a ton of time is wasted via loading times. VAs aren't well used, Text on screen to support what is being said would be helpful

molto adatto dopo aver seguito il corso generale sul risk assessment. Gli esempi aiutano molto a capire come operare in diversi campi
