Failure Mode Effect Analysis Course
Our Failure Mode Effect Analysis course is your key to proactively managing risk and enhancing the reliability of your processes and products. FMEA is a powerful methodology used to identify and assess potential failures, their causes, and the consequences they may have on your operations.
Course overview.
Join our Failure Mode Effect Analysis course to become a risk management expert. This course equips professionals in various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and engineering, with the skills to systematically evaluate and mitigate risks. Through practical exercises and real-world case studies, you will learn how to apply FMEA to a wide range of scenarios, ensuring that you can prevent issues, enhance product and process reliability, and ultimately boost customer satisfaction. Enrol now to take a proactive approach to quality and safety and make your organisation more resilient to potential failures.
Who it's for.
This course is ideal for professionals across diverse fields, including quality control specialists, engineers, project managers, and those responsible for ensuring product and process reliability. It's also suitable for individuals seeking to enhance their risk management skills, regardless of their level of experience, making it valuable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Whether you are aiming to boost your career prospects or contribute to the long-term success of your organisation, this course provides essential tools and knowledge to help you excel in your role.
What you'll learn.
Module 1: Introduction to Failure Mode Effect Analysis
In this foundational module, participants will receive an introduction to the principles and methodology of Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), covering key concepts such as risk assessment, identification of failure modes, and severity analysis. Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, participants will gain a solid understanding of the foundational elements of FMEA.
Module 2: Conducting FMEA Assessments
This module focuses on the practical aspects of conducting FMEA assessments, including the step-by-step process, risk prioritisation, and the development of mitigation strategies. Participants will learn how to effectively identify, analyse, and prioritise potential failure modes in various processes. Through hands-on exercises and case studies, participants will refine their skills in implementing FMEA assessments to enhance quality and reliability.
Module 3: Integrating FMEA into Quality Management Systems
The final module explores the integration of FMEA into broader quality management systems, covering topics such as continuous improvement, process Optimisation, and organisational learning. Participants will learn how to use FMEA as a proactive tool for preventing failures, improving processes, and enhancing overall organisational performance. Through real-world applications and strategic discussions, participants will develop the skills needed to integrate FMEA seamlessly into comprehensive quality management strategies.
What you'll leave with.
By the end of the day you'll be able to:
- Identify failure modes, effects and causes for a process or design
- Score severity, occurrence and detection consistently
- Prioritise using RPN and the AIAG-VDA Action Priority approach
- Define and track actions, then re-score
- Keep FMEA as a living part of your quality system

Find failures before they happen.
FMEA is structured pessimism: asking how things could fail, then acting on the biggest risks first. Select any stage to jump to it.

What people get wrong.
Three things we hear before almost every Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) course, and what's actually true.
The highest RPN is always the top priority.
Reality
A severity 10 with low occurrence can hide behind a modest RPN. That's why the 2019 AIAG-VDA handbook introduced Action Priority.
FMEA is a one-off exercise.
Reality
It should be updated whenever the design, process or failure history changes.
One expert can complete an FMEA.
Reality
Good FMEAs need a cross-functional team. Different people see different failure modes.
