Participants in this course will learn how to apply FMEA to improve the safety, reliability, and performance of processes, products, and services.
"If I were forced to pick one continuous improvement tool to have in my problem-solving toolbox it would be the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, or FMEA," explains Ron Pereira, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Gemba Academy, "An FMEA is a structured approach for identifying the ways that a product or process can fail, what causes the failure, and how this affects the customer.
