In today's competitive market environment, the industry has realized the fact that servicing unreliable products is a very costly proposition. To a large extent, reliability is built into the product during the design and development phase. Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an essential ingredient of reliability engineering and is a very powerful and effective technique used for improvement in the methodology used for design, assembly, materials engineering, servicing etc., for a diverse range of products and processes. FMEA can be effectively applied in case of new developments, new technologies and components/assemblies or products which have inherent problems to anticipate & prevent problems showing up in practice during the product lifecycle by an approach using methodical thinking and validation of concepts. FMEA is an aid for continuous improvement which fits into a PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) pattern of activity. Whenever continuous Improvement and problem solving is envisaged or effected, FMEA is redone to evaluate their effects

Learn to execute Design FMEA according to the new AIAG &VDA Handbook by achieving a deeper understanding of the explicit and subtle changes, along with the high impact benefits that will bring your organization's FMEA to the next level of robustness.

Keeping this is view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2 day interactive programme on “How to become an effective FMEA Practitioner as per combined AIAG & VDA Version” on 19 - 20 February 2020 at Bengaluru.
