Companies conduct FMEAs because all potential risks in designing, testing, and manufacturing products can be managed with this discipline before the product is produced.
This new video examines FMEA and how proactive FMEA documentation is being used to reduce product and process risks.
It tracks an FMEA document for an automotive braking system at the Robert Bosch Corporation.
Viewers will see how FMEA documents track responsibilities to reduce these risks.
Peter Baird, the FMEA Methodology and Process Expert at Robert Bosch Corporation, explains why an FMEA is used at Bosch.
"The FMEA Analysis is useful for finding and identifying product risks and process risks.
The reason for this is that a disciplined process will bring out issues that are not normally found in a random engineering development operational status." At Bosch, an FMEA document minimizes engineering resources during the development time and can quickly direct engineering to the highest ranked potential risks.
This disciplined approach leads to minimal surprises at Bosch.
The FMEA is integrated into the new product development process and continues on for the life of the product.
With many new products underway at once, viewers will discover that each Bosch product benefits from a single controlled document that can organize all known risks.
Viewers will learn how the disciplined FMEA procedure maximizes design resources, makes for better products, and most of all helps provide better customer satisfaction.
