FMEA for Beginners: Taking Preventive Action

Course ID FMEA01JPR
Format E-Learning

Assess your organization’s risk of failure. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an essential component of a preventive action program. This course helps you implement this vital methodology while analyzing risks, determining areas in need of action, and applying mistake-proofing techniques.


This introductory course presents a step-by-step method for conducting Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). It defines the role, methodologies, and implementation of FMEAs as an essential component of a preventive action program. Participants will determine FMEA objectives, potential failure cause and effect, assessment of risks, and preventive action plans. This interactive course includes handouts, practice exercises, job aids, design-process-service examples, quizzes, free FMEA excel template (editable), and a free desk reference.

The class has been updated to be consistent with the FMEA 4th edition reference manual for use by automotive suppliers. The course requires the completion of a homework assignment that will be graded by an instructor. Feedback is provided on all assignments.

Access to this course is for 90 days from the date of purchase. Any assignment that is failed and retaken will incur a remarking fee.
