FAILURE MODE EFFECT ANALYSIS
- 1. FAILURE MODE EFFECTIVE ANALYSIS
- 2. Introduction Failure Mode Effect Analysis is an analytical technique that goes in for combining Technology and Experience of people to identify foreseen failures in a product or process and planning to eliminate the Failure. Definition FMEA is a group of activities to understand and evaluate potential failure of product or process and its effects, and identify actions that eliminate or reduce the potential failures.
- 3. Types of FMEA Major Classification Design FMEA Process FMEA Sub Classification Equipment FMEA Maintenance FMEA Service FMEA System FMEA
- 4. DESIGN FMEA Design FMEA use in the design process by identifying known and foreseeable failures modes and ranking failures according to their impact on the product .
- 5. PROCESS FMEA It is used to identify potential process failure modes by ranking failures and establishing priorities, and its impact on the Internal or external customers.
- 6. RELIABILITY Reliability is defined as the probability that the product will perform as per the expectation for a certain period of time, under the given operating conditions, and the given set of product performance characteristics. The part, assembly, or process under consideration, the reliability of each sub system and factors that contribute to failure to be found.
- 7. FAILURE RATE Products follow a pattern of failure. There is no information about the reliability (i.e. Failure) of the product. Failure Rate is a constant is known period of failure can be found out using Exponential Distribution R t = e – λ t R t = Reliability of survival R t = e - t / θ t = Time for operation without failure λ = Failure rate θ = Mean time to Failure
- 8. PROBLEM Failure Rate λ = .0002 per hour What is the probability that it will survive or reliable during the first 200 hours of operations? Solution Rt = e – λ t = e – (200) (0.0002) = 96.08 %
