Reverse FMEA / Reverse FMEA – The Method – #1182
Context
Several manufacturers such as STELLANTIS, RENAULT, FORD, GM, etc., and also some Tier 1 suppliers require, as part of their CSR, to implement Reverse FMEA during the production phase.
Reverse FMEA is a tool that complements PFMEA, enabling the application and effectiveness of the prevention and detection measures defined in PFMEA to be verified during series production, new failure modes and new causes to be discovered, and ratings to be updated on the basis of factual data during series production.
At the end of a Reverse FMEA, new risk reduction actions are decided upon, and the PFMEA Â and associated production documentation are updated.
Objectives
- Discover the concepts of reverse FMEA and associated customer requirements
- Identify the advantages and benefits of the approach for your company
- Learn how to prepare and organize a reverse FMEA based on feedback
- Integrate observations from the reverse FMEA into the process FMEA and production documentation
- Be able to apply the method in your organization after the training
Recommanded for
This training is highly recommended for technicians, engineers and managers of industrialisation/engineering, production, maintenance and quality departments.
