This course is designed for Management Representatives, Implementation Teams, Internal Auditors, Product and Process Engineers, NPI teams and others who are involved in the implementation or auditing of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, and have previous knowledge in the AIAG or VDA approach.

It is a prerequisite for this course that you have an understanding of the 4th edition AIAG FMEA manual or the VDA 4 2nd revised edition Product and Process FMEA

• 7 Step Approach 
• Overview of the FMEA process
• General review of FMEA principles

• Process FMEA including start points 
• FMEA ranking tables and scoring 
• Action Priority 
• Resulting Documentation 

FMEA is used to support the introduction of new products and processes, as well as support changes to existing products and processes.  It is often mandated by automotive, aerospace and other engineering primary manufacturers, as a specific requirement to support the goal of defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste.

Companies that apply FMEA successfully see improved product conformity, better on-time delivery performance and a reduction in the cost of non-quality.

Delegates on this AIAG/VDA Combined FMEA Awareness Training (1 day) course will gain an understanding of the new step by step approach to FMEA and the changes between the current and new approaches to FMEA, including the new combined approach to creation, scoring and risk evaluation and resulting documentation.

Upon completion of the course you will receive an Industry Forum certificate of attendance.
