This document provides an overview of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). It describes FMEA as a tool to identify potential failure modes, estimate the risk associated with failures, and prioritize actions to address high-risk failures. The document outlines the FMEA process, which involves identifying failure modes and their causes and effects, then calculating a risk priority number to prioritize issues. It also discusses design and process FMEAs and when each is used. Finally, it reviews how FMEA relates to and can be used along with other process analysis tools.
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)—also "failure modes", plural, in many publications—was one of the first highly structured, systematic techniques for failure analysis. It was developed by reliability engineers in the late 1950s to study problems that might arise from malfunctions of military systems. An FMEA is often the first step of a system reliability study. It involves reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify failure modes, and their causes and effects. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on the rest of the system are recorded in a specific FMEA worksheet. There are numerous variations of such worksheets. An FMEA can be a qualitative analysis.

Quality Maintenance is an "advanced" pillar of TPM and aims to assure zero defect conditions. Also known as Hinshitsu Hozen in Japanese, it does this by understanding and controlling the process interactions between the 4Ms - manpower, material, machines and methods that could enable defects to occur. The key is to prevent defects from being produced in the first place, rather than screening them out through inspection systems after they have been produced. Controlling quality through its causes is the essence of Quality Maintenance.

Failure mode and effects analysis is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects
In software industry, the concept of quality has become a significant aspect and is
expressed and defined in many different ways. Quality assurance, and in particular software
testing and verification, are areas that yet have much to offer to the industry. This paper
emphasizes the importance of a quality process and also discusses about the ways in which it
could be achieved through offline software quality techniques in particular SFMEA Model.
Software FMEA determines the software failure modes that are likely to cause top
level failure events. Software FMEAs are useful when designing and testing the error
handling part of the software process. It has to be found that there is significant improvement
in quality in terms of reduced RPN values.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

2. Learning Objectives
2
To understand the use of Failure Modes Effect
Analysis (FMEA)
To learn the steps to developing FMEAs
To summarize the different types of FMEAs
To learn how to link the FMEA to other
Process tools
3. Benefits
3
Allows us to identify areas of our process that
most impact our customers
Helps us identify how our process is most likely to
fail
Points to process failures that are most difficult to
detect
4. Application Examples
4
Manufacturing: A manager is responsible for moving a
manufacturing operation to a new facility. He/she
wants to be sure the move goes as smoothly as
possible and that there are no surprises.
Design: A design engineer wants to think of all the
possible ways a product being designed could fail so
that robustness can be built into the product.
Software: A software engineer wants to think of
possible problems a software product could fail when
scaled up to large databases. This is a core issue for
the Internet.
5. What Is A Failure Mode?
5
A Failure Mode is:
The way in which the component, subassembly,
product, input, or process could fail to perform its
intended function
Failure modes may be the result of upstream
operations or may cause downstream operations
to fail
Things that could go wrong
What Can Go
Wrong?
6. FMEA
6
Why
Methodology that facilitates process improvement
Identifies and eliminates concerns early in the
development of a process or design
Improve internal and external customer satisfaction
Focuses on prevention
FMEA may be a customer requirement (likely
contractual)
FMEA may be required by an applicable
Quality Management System Standard (possibly
ISO)
7. FMEA
7
A structured approach to:
Identifying the ways in which a product or process
can fail
Estimating risk associated with specific causes
Prioritizing the actions that should be taken to
reduce risk
Evaluating design validation plan (design FMEA) or
current control plan (process FMEA)
8. When to Conduct an FMEA
8
Early in the process improvement investigation
When new systems, products, and processes
are being designed
When existing designs or processes are being
changed
When carry-over designs are used in new
applications
After system, product, or process functions are
defined, but before specific hardware is
selected or released to manufacturing
9. History of FMEA
9
First used in the 1960’s in the Aerospace
industry during the Apollo missions
In 1974, the Navy developed MIL-STD-1629
regarding the use of FMEA
In the late 1970’s, the automotive industry
was driven by liability costs to use FMEA
Later, the automotive industry saw the
advantages of using this tool to reduce risks
related to poor quality
Examples
10. Types of FMEAs
10
Design
Analyzes product design before release to
production, with a focus on product function
Analyzes systems and subsystems in early
concept and design stages
Process
Used to analyze manufacturing and assembly
processes after they are implemented
Specialized
Uses
11. FMEA: A Team Tool
11
A team approach is necessary.
Team should be led by the Process Owner who is
the responsible manufacturing engineer or
technical person, or other similar individual
familiar with FMEA.
The following should be considered for team
members:
– Design Engineers – Operators
– Process Engineers – Reliability
– Materials Suppliers – Suppliers
– Customers
Team Input
Required
12. FMEA Procedure
12
1. For each process input (start with high value inputs),
determine the ways in which the input can go wrong
(failure mode)
2. For each failure mode, determine effects
Select a severity level for each effect
3. Identify potential causes of each failure mode
Select an occurrence level for each cause
4. List current controls for each cause
Select a detection level for each cause
Process Steps
13. FMEA Procedure (Cont.)
13
5. Calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN)
6. Develop recommended actions, assign responsible
persons, and take actions
Give priority to high RPNs
MUST look at severities rated a 10
7. Assign the predicted severity, occurrence, and
detection levels and compare RPNs

Fault tree analysis: FTA is a deductive analytical
technique of reliability and safety analysis
Used for complex dynamic systems
Provides for objective basis for analysis and
justification for changes and additions
Developed in 1961 by Bell telephone company.
It is a model that logically and graphically
represents the various combinations of possible
events, both faulty and normal, occurring in a
system that leads to the top undesired event.
The tree shows a single failure at the top leading
to the root cause at the bottom. Connected to

25. Benefits of FTA
Many logic symbols are used for the tree to
describe complex dynamic events
This helps in visualizing the analysis
Helps in assembly reliability
Determines the probability of occurrence for each
of the root causes.
Provides documented evidence for compliance
with safety.
Assesses the impact of design changes and
alternatives
Isolates critical safety behaviour
Identifies failures that lead to accidents.

26. Design of Experiments
Certain independent variables are changed to a
predefined plan and the effects are determined
on the dependent variables.
DOE is used in reliability testing and can
identifythe primary factors causing an undesired
event.
DOE is used in FMEA when there is concern
about several independent variables and/or an
interaction effect of casual factors.
The quality function deployment (QFD) is a
systematic methodology that brings together the
various factions with in the corporation and
focusses them to the voice of the customer.

27. QFD
It can help in the identification of weaknesses and
strengths in product development and TQM ( Total
Quality Management).
This leads to operational and strategic benefits
Reduced cost, fewer engineering changes, shorter
cycle time and large market share are the advantages
in strategic benefits.
Is linked to other quality technologies, enhances
communication, identifies conflicting requirements
and preserves information for the future.
A need analysis of the customer that precedes QFD
will be highly beneficial.
Ultimately the systems engineer is responsible for
