Context
Every product design needs to be controlled at every stage of its life cycle, to reduce the risks of customer dissatisfaction, feasibility problems, missed deadlines, costs and, worse still, legal and criminal consequences.
Risk management begins by translating the requirements of the specifications into so-called external functions, and thus understanding how the structure of the product contributes to these functions.
At the end of the product FMEA, a verification/validation plan will be defined as necessary.
To optimise analysis time, it is important to prioritise product FMEA studies.
Finally, if the FMEA approach is to be sustainable, it is necessary to strengthen the skills and motivation of your development teams by producing useful and effective FMEA.
Objectives
- Understand the benefits to the company of carrying out product FMEA.
- Knowing how to carry out a functional analysis (external and internal).
- Know how to plan and prioritise your product FMEA.
- Understand the different concepts specific to FMEA: failure mode, cause, effect, and the distinction between prevention and detection.
- Know how to prioritise risks in order to define risk reduction actions.
- Linking the product FMEA to the design verification/validation plan.
- Avoiding errors when drawing up a product FMEA.
- Knowing how to audit a product FMEA effectively (key points to be audited).
Recommanded for
- Project Manager .
- Development engineer and technician, Design office, Project quality.
- Auditors.
- FMEA coordinator/facilitator.
- Anyone involved in a product FMEA.
Prerequisites
No prerequisites.
Pedagogy
The trainees identify the best practices of FMEA at each major step of the methodology:
- Open version: instruction based on a case study.
- In-house version: instruction based on a company-specific case study selected with Euro-Symbiose.
Evaluation mode
- Knowledge test (MCQ)
Course materials
- Participant’s file containing the presentations delivered during the training and the exercise materials.

Session 1
Historical background.
Session 2
The challenges of FMEA for external customers and the company.
The aims of the product FMEA and links with other types of FMEA.
Session 3
The Product FMEA team.
Session 4
The FMEA product preparation phase: external and internal functional analyses
- Gather information on the product – List the life situations (SV)
- Carry out the external functional analysis (Fp and Fc)
- Value the Fp and Fc functions
- Finalise the functional CDC – Prioritise the SV, Fp and FC for the study
- Carry out the internal functional analysis (components and technical-flow functions)
- Define the components involved in the external functions
- Define and value the technical and flow functions – Prioritise the components and functions for the study
Session 5
Key principles 1 and 2 – Basic concepts and definitions (failure mode, risk control).
- 1 The causal chain of failure and the effect on the customer
- 2 Prevention and Detection to counter the cause and/or detect failure
Practical case study.
