FMEA – Failure Mode and Effects Analysis with APIS IQ-RM program *computer-based training

APIS IQ-RM – BUILDING THE STRUCTURE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

Content:

STEP 1. Defining the FMEA scope:

• Selecting the type of FMEA in IQ-RM
• “5T” in the software – available options
• Documenting FMEA – available form templates

STEP 2. FMEA: Structure analysis

• Defining process steps and work elements (4M+)
• Defining the structure: system–subsystem–assemblies–components
• Visualizing the structure in IQ-RM

STEP 3. Function analysis:

• Defining functions and characteristics depending on the level in the structure/tree
• Describing specifications – various software options
• Using the Parameter Diagram tool

STEP 4. Failure network analysis:

• Defining nonconformities, causes, and effects
• Automatic creation of relationship networks – time-saving feature

STEP 5. Risk analysis:

• S, O, D rating tables – editing in IQ-RM
• Adding preventive actions and controls (with a clear distinction between cause and failure controls – software options)
• Action Priority – determination and analysis

Exercises:

Creating networks of functions and characteristics

Creating relationships within red networks (failures, effects, and causes)

Determining risk levels (different approaches to documenting results)

Defining current and recommended actions (P, D)

METHODS FOR SUMMARIZING AND REPORTING ANALYSIS RESULTS

Content:

STEP 6. Optimization:

• Changes in documenting planned actions, suggested statuses
• Analysis of action effectiveness – software options
• Actions in the software following a complaint

STEP 7. Reporting:

• Generating ready-made reports directly from IQ-RM

Exercises:

Creating action summaries for individual responsible persons

Reviewing (revising) FMEA results

Risk matrix, frequency analysis, and other reports
