Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a powerful, structured method for identifying and reducing risk in processes, products, and systems. This intensive one-day course introduces participants to the principles and practice of FMEA using real-life industry examples. You will learn how to proactively assess where and how failures might occur and prioritise them based on impact, likelihood, and detectability.
The course walks through the full FMEA process - from defining scope and identifying failure modes to assigning Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs) and implementing corrective actions. Using worksheets, templates and group exercises, participants will gain confidence in conducting FMEAs for design (DFMEA), process (PFMEA), or system-level risk assessments. Whether you are working in engineering, quality, healthcare, or services, this session gives you the tools to reduce risk and build reliability into your operations.
