(NEWSWIRE.NET – April 2, 2013) – London, UK – William Stewart – Many industries now use a process known as FMEA, which is short for Failure Mode and Effect Analysis to predict failures in equipment and what might be done in such cases.
Used at design level, an FMEA will ask various questions and come up with plans should certain things occur – like failures.
In the case of the faulty pump, an FMEA might have been able to predict more accurately the probability of failure and have been able to ascertain exactly what to do.
An FMEA is a tool which engineers and managers would use to analyse and assess this pipeline and identify the areas where the consequences of failure are the highest.
Purpose built FMEA Software is often used to assist the engineers more accurately on complex jobs.
The cost of the FMEA software tools can be as low as £2000 for all the licenses for a whole site plus somewhere in the same region for training on the correct use of the software.
Semiconductor and automotive people routinely use FMEA to identify problems like ….”If the pump fails…” The costs are trivial compared to the disasters they avert.
Stephen Murphy is a 23 year veteran consultant in the FMEA arena, “If I were reviewing the gas pipe situation I would be looking at their FMEA, how was it developed, have the actions been closed out, has training been delivered and worst case scenarios trialed to test the FMEA, who was in the team? local experts? Referential experts? How often is the FMEA updated?” Stephen commented.
A good fmea software system would have all this to hand, the worst case – say a paper system and you are lost in five minutes.
You need really a robust fmea template and purpose built software to effectively have a solid fmea process that will stand the test of time.
Maybe a mistake won’t cost you billions of pounds but what will be the cost, that’s the question you should be looking to get answered http://fmeatemplate.net
At fmeatemplate.net you can download a free trial of an award winning fmea software package that includes fmea templates, for you to try out first. Stephen will be on hand should you have any questions and to assist you on getting started using the fmea process.
