Technical Courses: Core Courses
Process Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (PFMEA)
This is an interactive course that addresses how failures occur; the effect, causes and severity of the failure; the likelihood that the cause will result in the failure; mechanisms to detect failure; reliability of the detection mechanisms and the risk associated with the failure. Some classroom activities include process mapping, process analysis and creating a PFMEA.
