Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Introductory Overview

Abstract

Purpose of presentation is to make you aware of a tool which is often misused if used at all. As result too many expensive failures go undiscovered until its too late. Unbelievable sums of money are spent annually in every industry to react to failures that were never anticipated. In most case these failures could have been avoided if the time was taken to identify them early. Therefore costs associated with controlling them would have gone from dollars to pennies relatively speaking.
