Methodology of FMEA

In-house seminars

Basics

Seminar content at a glance

  • Introduction to the FMEA methodology according to AIAG/VDA

  • Tips for organising an FMEA project

  • Practical examples (DFMEA and PFMEA)

The FMEA is used to identify potential weak points in a product, system or process, recognise their significance, evaluate the risk and initiate suitable actions to prevent or detect them in good time. In the seminar, you will learn how to create an FMEA methodically and correctly using practical examples from your company.

Important note:
The seminar focusses exclusively on the FMEA method, the software operation itself is not covered. If you are interested in both topics, please book the Two-in-One seminar.
