Event Title: Teaching an Old FMEA New Tricks (Presented at the 2016 World Conference on Quality and Improvement)
Workshop: ASQ Recertification Hints from Lou Ripberger
Topic Description:
Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, or the FMEA, is a popular risk assessment tool used to manage potential risk in processes and designs. Not surprisingly, there may be failure modes associated with the activity of conducting an FMEA. Accurate results require accurate input rankings; however, complete and accurate information is not always available. When FMEA input rankings are based on collective intelligence that are skill-based and/or sometimes subjective, there needs to be a method of assessing the sensitivity of prioritized risk values associated with ranking uncertainty. This presentation will describe several potential failure modes associated with the activity of conducting an FMEA along with a simple method to assess the sensitivity of the Risk Priority Number to input rankings.
Learning Objectives:
• Learn potential failure modes associated with conducting the FMEA
• Understand why some RPN values are more sensitive to error than others
• Learn how to perform sensitivity analysis of RPN values for better decision making
• Learn how to update the standard FMEA template in order to measure marginal risk values
