R.O.S.E. Informatik White Paper On Failure Modes And Effects Analysis

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis has long been a way to predict the consequences of failures in complex systems. FMEA has been a required part of many aerospace and military projects for many years. A number of support tools have been developed to aid in the time-consuming process of performing FMEA's. These tools generally collected data, kept it organized and produced reports according to Mil Stds. But the process of identifying the failure characteristics of individual components and determining the effects of those failures as they propagate across the systems in which they are embedded has been mainly a manual and expensive process. Powerful workstations and modern mathematical techniques are now making it possible to automate FMEA and make it a routine and affordable part of the engineering design process. This allows higher quality products to be produced faster, cheaper and more competitively. RODON is at the forefront of the new modeling and diagnosis technology that is allowing this to happen.

In Design, RODON is effective in sizing and optimization activities. It supports Quality Assurance in many ways such as risk analysis and system level Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). RODON suppports the integration and test of complex systems via functional checkout and diagnosis of the entire system or subsets thereof. It is a highly effective tool in maintenance, troubleshooting and repair especially when used in the early design phase by diagnostic research personnel to help frame strategies and tactics for the ultimate Service Bay. RODON can handle unlimited combinations of component types such as electric, electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical and logical, and systematically verifies the validity of their respective connectivity.

BPP has extensive experience in FMEA and can provide an efficient, structured approach to assessing interconnected system failures.

Each potential failure mode in the system is analysed to determine its effect and to classify it according to its severity. The objective is to identify reliability-critical areas in the system for which modifications to the design or maintenance procedures are required to eliminate single point failures and any catastrophic or critical consequences of such failures. Each individual component of the system is considered separately for each of its failure modes.

QSi-FMEA: Fehlermöglichkeits-, Einflußanalyse .

Mit Hilfe des Moduls QSi-FMEA erkennen und vermeiden Sie Fehler im Vorfeld der Produktion oder schon bei der Konstruktion. Die rechner- und datenbankunterstützte Durchführung von Fehlermöglichkeits- und Einflußanalysen (FMEAs) gewährleistet Ihnen eine umfassende Risiko-Analyse sowie die Auffindung von Schwachstellen und Fehlermöglichkeiten. QSi-FMEA sammelt alle Daten und Fakten bei der Erstellung von FMEAs in strukturierten Datenbanken. So entsteht Ihre umfangreiche, individuelle Wissensdatenbank, auf welche Sie beim Erstellen weiterer FMEAs jederzeit wieder zugreifen können. Auf der Basis dieser Datenbank vereinfacht sich die Erstellung neuer FMEAs erheblich.

Dank der leistungsfähigen Such- und Kopierfunktion finden Sie gleiche oder ähnliche Problemstellungen und übernehmen die Lösungswege in die gerade bearbeitete FMEA.

Standardformulare (z.B. VDA, Bosch, Ford) sind vorbereitet. Freie Druckgestaltung und die Erstellung individueller Formulare sind durch den integrierten Formulargenerator jederzeit per Mausklick möglich.

Wichtig zur Überwachung der FMEAs ist die Terminverfolgung. So bewahren Sie stets den Überblick und informieren sich mittels Knopfdruck über den aktuellen Bearbeitungsstand aller FMEAs.

Dieses Seminar vermittelt Kenntnisse, welche die Teilnehmer befähigen sollen, eigenständig FMEA-Sitzungen vorzubereiten, durchzuführen, auszuwerten und umzusetzen.

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)

De Failure Mode and Effect Analysis is een analysemethode waarbij een voorspelling wordt gemaakt van het toekomstige gedrag van een product of proces. Met FMEA hebt u een belangrijk instrument in handen als u kwaliteit in het ontwikkelingstraject wilt integreren. Deze methodiek kan een belangrijk hulpmiddel zijn om een kennissysteem (op basis van ervaring en gekoppeld aan product- en procesmodules) op te zetten. Hierdoor worden kostbare verbeteringen en corrigerende acties tijdens de productie en het gebruik vermeden.

Deze workshop wordt vaak bedrijfsintern verzorgd waarbij onder begeleiding van de docent een FMEA van uw product of proces door alle betrokken specialisten uitgevoerd wordt!

Voor een bedrijfsinterne cursus wordt een separate offerte gemaakt

Im Rahmen des vom BMBF geförderten Verbundprojekts INDIA wurden zusammen mit der Robert Bosch GmbH Verhaltensmodelle für Komponenten mechatronischer Fahrzeugsubysteme entwickelt. Unter Verwendung dieser Modellbibliotheken und eines vorhandenen Softwaretools zur automatischen modellbasierten Verhaltensvorhersage soll im Rahmen dieser Arbeit ein Prototyp zur Unterstützung der FMEA realisiert werden. Teilaufgaben sind dabei

- die automatische Ableitung des Systemverhaltens für alle möglichen Einfachfehler von Komponenten,

- die Ermittlung der Unterschiede zum Normalverhalten des Systems,

- die computerunterstützte Generierung einer FMEA-Tabelle auf Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse.

Dieser FMEA-Prototyp soll in MS Visual Basic unter Windows NT implementiert werden.

RQM-FMEA ist ein Baustein zu Erstellung von FMEAs (Fehler-Möglichkeit- und -Einfluss-Analyse), die zur Ermittlung von Fehlermöglichkeiten am Produkt (System-FMEA Produkt, Konstruktions-FMEA) oder im Herstellprozess eines Produkts (System FMEA Prozess, Prozess-FMEA) verwendet wird.

Eine FMEA beschränkt sich auf mögliche Einzelfehler und wird durch die Systemanalyse, die Funktionsanalyse und die Fehlerbaumanalyse ergänzt.
Die RQM-FMEA greift auf die Qualitätshistorie eines Teils zu und kann damit in einer FMEA Hülseneinträge generieren, die dann nur noch ausgefüllt werden müssen.
Unter Zuhilfenahme der so (oder manuell) erstellten FMEA können erkannte Merkmale, die der Prüfung bedürfen definiert und in der Prüfplanung übernommen werden.

FMEA. Produkt- und Prozessplanung vor Serienbeginn

Die FMEA ist eine wirkungsvolle Methode, um systematisch Schwachstellen in Prozessen
zu entdecken und Maßnahmenpläne zu ihrer Beseitigung zu erstellen. Deshalb wird sie
auch bei der Zertifizierung nach VDA 6.1/ QS 9000 und von vielen Kunden verlangt.

In unserem Workshop zeigen wir, wie die FMEA mit vertretbarem Aufwand und mit
maximalem Nutzen angewandt werden kann. U.a. wird auch der Aufbau einer indivi-
duellen Wissensdatenbank vorgestellt.

Nach dem Wokshop sind Sie in der Lage, selbständig eine systematische FMEA sowohl
konventionell (mit Papier und Bleistift) als auch jedem EDV-Werkzeug durchzuführen.

Knowledge Base Approach to Integrated Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (IFMEA)

To compete in today’s marketplace, manufacturers must eliminate all severe malfunctions and possible failures from their products and manufacturing processes. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic set of activities intended to identify and help eliminate potential concern. To yield the most valuable results, an FMEA must be performed before a design or process failure has been unknowingly incorporated into the product. Moreover, modern standards and regulations require designers and manufacturers to formally prove that all potential malfunctions have been eliminated or put under control.

Up-front time spent in doing a comprehensive FMEA, at the stage when products/processes changes can be easily and inexpensively implemented, will obviate late change crises. FMEA professionals know that improvement is an ongoing process. That’s why FMEA Knowledge Base (FMEA-KB) is designed to support the following activities:

Continuous improvement Your product or process must always improve, due to competitors products improvement. Before making decisions on how to improve, you need to review previous suggestions and analyze their advantages and drawbacks—to avoid the ones that failed, and consider the ones that were not implemented.

Efficiency through similarity Frequently, the knowledge gained while improving one product or process can be applied to improve another. FMEA-KB keeps the knowledge organized so that you can make quick evaluations regarding the portability of solutions.

Knowledge mine Ideas, recommendations, experience, success—these are acquired constantly, not just in weekly quality meetings or brainstorming sessions. You need a mechanism to constantly update, review, and evaluate experts’ input into the knowledge base.

If your organization needs or performs any of these activities, then Professional FMEA (ProFMEA) with its knowledge base can help you significantly improve your product/process performance and quality.

Experts from the SAE Technical Paper on New Developments for FMEA

Abstract
New developments for the construction, interpretation, and management of FMEA are demonstrated in the initial application of a Ford case study on FMEA. The developments were compared to past FMEA applications and the results were significant for both efficiency and effectiveness of risk analysis and risk management for introducing system changes.

Introduction
The intent of this paper is twofold: 1) to demonstrates the impact of these enhancement for FMEA and 2) to identify and manage the risks for redesigning the Ford Warranty Reporting System.

Tired Of Writing FMEA's & Control Plans?

Quality Plus WILL WRITE THEM FOR YOU!!!

There are many software packages that automatically generate FMEA's. Upon closer examination, it is discovered that these programs are setup in a spreadsheet format. The user looks at his or her computer screen and sees a blank FMEA staring back at them. These programs are an improvement over past methods in much the same way the word processor is an improvement over a typewriter, and there are definite benefits to the user. It is our feeling that spreadsheet programs don't go quite far enough. The user is still responsible for inserting the correct information into the correct columns. This requires the design or process engineer to have a knowledge of the structure and function of FMEA's.

Quality Plus requires only that the design engineer has a knowledge of the product he or she is designing, and that the process engineer has a knowledge of the process that will manufacture the product. our screens don't look like FMEA's . They consist of simple questions about the product or process. The user answers these questions and Quality Plus generates an AIAG-compliant FMEA in seconds!

Quality Planning System

Whether you are an automotive supplier or just need to write FMEA's, PPAP's, or Control Plans, this package is for you!

We know that developing and maintaining Design FMEA's, Process FMEA's, and Control Plans has been difficult, expensive, and time-consuming... so we have developed a simple software utility, incorporating required PPAP templates, to help you complete this process with ease. Using the Quality Planning System will simplify the tedious process of gathering all of the necessary documents for PPAP submission.

The Quality Planning System helps organize your process by including a checklist that you can insert into your own files such as Process Flow charts and SPC charts

FMEA: methodisch op zoek naar risico's met de Faal Manier en Effect Analyse

In een FMEA worden van ieder onderdeel uit een produkt (of iedere stap uit een produktie-proces) de functies benoemd.
Van iedere functie worden mogelijke faalmanieren geformuleerd.
Vervolgens worden voor iedere faalmanier drie grootheden geschat:
de kans op optreden (O),
de ernst (E)
en de kans op het onopgemerkt blijven van de fout (D van detecteerbaarheid).
Deze drie grootheden worden met elkaar vermenigvuldigd en leveren aldus het 'risico-prioriteits-nummer' op.
Het RPN wordt hoger naarmate het optreden van de fout waarschijnlijker is, meer schade veroorzaakt en moeilijker tijdig te signaleren is.
Hoe hoger het RPN, hoe urgenterer actie ondernomen moet worden om het optreden van de potentiële fout te voorkomen.
De analyse vindt zijn neerslag in standaard FMEA-werkbladen.

FMEA - Risikoanalyse
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) er en preventiv kvalitetsstyringsmetode for oppbygging av en intern erfaringsbank av erfaringsdata. Metoden er en risikoanalyse med fokus på reduksjon av sannsynligheten for potensielle feil i konstruksjon- og prosessammenheng.

i/FMEA bietet eine umfassende Unterstützung sowohl in der Analysephase wie auch bei der Durchführung präventiver Maßnahmen und stellt eine vollständige Dokumentation sicher. Das Programm ist für PCs unter Windows (Win 3.1x, Win9x, WinNT 4.0) als Einzelplatz- oder Netzwerk-Version verfügbar und nutzt zur Speicherung der FMEA-Daten eine relationale Datenbank, die sich Schritt für Schritt zur individuellen Wissensbasis aufbaut. Eine an der Produkt- oder Prozeßstruktur orientierte Speicherung aller FMEA-Informationen ermöglicht es beispielsweise, kontextabhängig Vorschläge zu möglichen Ursachen eines Fehlers zu erhalten, welcher bei der Bearbeitung eines Teils oder einer Produktfamilie auftreten kann. Ein grafisch aufbereiteter Strukturbaum bietet eine einfache Gliederungshilfe für FMEAs, Produkte und Informationen der Wissensbasis. Die Eingabe der FMEA-Daten erfolgt in ergonomischer Weise direkt in die Spalten des ganzseitig dargestellten Formulars, wobei gängige Bearbeitungsfunktionen wie z.B. Kopieren unterstützt werden. Auswertungen wie Terminverfolgung, Pareto- und Auswirkungsanalyse runden die Funktionalität ab.

Syftet med en k-FMEA (konstruktions Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) är att på ett systematiskt sätt finna ev. inneboende svagheter i en konstruktion (sannolikhet för fel hos just DEN komponenten, Po).

Att finna vad ett fel hos det ingående komponenterna skulle få för konsekvens på det externa systemet (allvarlighetsgrad, S).

Samt slutligen bilda RPN (Risk Product Number)=produkten av Po och S.
RPN=Po * S

RPN sorteras sedan med störst först och an föreslår ev. åtgärd för de "värsta". Man har då på ett systematiskt sätt gått igenom produkten komponent för komponent och man kan med stor sannolikhet säga att man är säker på att inte råka ut för överraskningar.

FMEA, as an aerospace discipline, has found a valuable place in the aircraft certification process. The advent of ARP4761, and clearer definition of how an FMEA integrates with other elements of the System Safety Assessment (SSA), have changed the basic element of the analysis from the piece-part to the functional failure mode. Flight Hazard Analysis (FHA), is now performed before the FMEA.

Risk-Based Inspection
October 1996 SIB-96-176

Over the last few years, there have been several industry initiatives to develop risk-based inspection programs as alternatives to currently required ASME Code, Section XI Inservice Inspection (ISI) programs. These efforts have been initiated by owners groups, the Electric Power Research Institute and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Subcommittee XI. A working group has been established under Subcommittee XI to study the application of risk-based technologies to ISI and to develop the necessary Code changes to permit their use in lieu of current requirements. There are also a number of ongoing industry risk-based pilot studies to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The overall goal of these efforts is ultimately to allow the use of risk assessment, plus an understanding of component-specific degradation mechanisms, to establish an effective plant integrity management program which maintains plant safety, while at the same time reducing the industry and regulatory burden associated with current ISI requirements. Preliminary results from the pilot studies have shown that the application of risk-based techniques will allow nuclear plants to reduce the examination scope of current ISI programs by as much as 60% to 80%, without sacrificing safety. A brief discussion of the ongoing programs will follow.
