Theoretical Research on the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Method and Structure

摘要

With the development and production planning process within a manufacturing company, is analyzed production system and risks that may occur, the potential defects and their influences on the production. In industrial practice, a standard method to predict and control risks arising from product and process design and modification activities is Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This paper aims to identify and eliminate potential problems from a system, subsystem, component or a process. The FMEA analysis is aimed reduce errors at start of series production and shorten the development duration, increased safety in operation and product reliability, and creation a knowledge base in an industrial company. So, potential risks are identified, current controls evaluated and risk reducing actions defined in advance, to avoid that the potential risks become reality.
