Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a method of preventive quality management. The need for this quality-assuring technique arises from the increasing functional density of products. Malfunctions are identified by means of systematic processes. By using FMEA during product development it is possible to save costs by recognizing and avoiding potential errors at an early stage. It is also beneficial in terms of product liability and approval processes.

Whether it's a design, engineering or system FMEA in product development or a process FMEA in production; the metal or plastics processing industry; mechanics or electronics – IndustrieHansa's specialists are at home in all of these disciplines. Companies in the automotive and parts supplier industries, traditional machine and plant construction, and the semiconductor industry increasingly rely on the experience of IndustrieHansa's quality experts.

We work with you to perform a system analysis of the current situation regarding your products or processes and perform a standardized risk assessment. In the field of FMEA, our facilitators focus on the following activities:

• Development of system structure
• Determination of functions and production of functional structure
• Identification of malfunction and production of malfunction structure
• Risk assessment and evaluation of cause of error
• Development of optimization measures

We also train responsible staff and potential FMEA facilitators from development, design, work scheduling, production and quality management in the methodology and use of software.
