Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Design & Process
Online Assessments.
Prevent process failure with FMEA.
Prevent process non-conformances before they become costly problems.
Process problems are costly and frustrating, as measured in scrap, rework, plant spills, containment and warranty costs. Defective parts jeopardize successful product launches and customer satisfaction. The challenge for manufacturing management is preventing nuance and catastrophic failures before they happen. How do you identify and mitigate potential causes of the most severe process failures before it is too late?
Improve your FMEA practices.
What is FMEA?
Failure Mode & Effects Analysis is a structured method for anticipating problems and developing controls to prevent defects or failures. FMEA identifies risks and guides a team to take appropriate corrective actions – whether in the design or production phase.
What does FMEA do for you?
Identifies where and how your process is most likely to fail—directs your attention to vulnerabilities in your processes.
Estimates risks associated with each process step—objectively evaluates the danger of leaving the failure mode unchecked.
Identifies action priorities —shows you which vulnerabilities need the most attention.
Documents current prevention and detection methods—drives continuous improvement by illustrating where you have been, where you are, and where you want to be.
Nobody explains it quite like we do.
Whether you are new to FMEA, exploring options to improve your current practices, or seeking a training engagement, we will adapt our approach to fit you. We will make your improvement process simple, efficient, and effective to promote a painless and profitable transition to best practices.
Why prevent process failure?
- Prevent costly spills and product defects
- Reduce time handling complaints by increasing customer satisfaction
- Minimize scrap and rework costs

e-Learning: FMEA Introduction and
AIAG & VDA FMEA Methodology
Master FMEA with our two FMEA eLearning courses!
Start with the FMEA Introduction course to build a solid foundation in risk assessment and mitigation, understanding why FMEA is a globally recognized best practice. Then, dive deeper with the AIAG & VDA FMEA Methodology course, where our interactive and engaging approach—featuring animations and the wisdom of our kitchen guru, Murray—brings the 7-Step Methodology to life through a fun and relatable chocolate chip cookie baking example. Together, these courses provide a complete learning path to help you confidently apply FMEA in real-world scenarios.
FMEA Introduction:
This class provides an online learning opportunity to grasp the fundamentals of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Risk Assessment and Risk Mitigation are essential parts of product and process development. Proactively identifying risk and taking action to reduce or eliminate the impact these risks pose to a project are critical to being competitive in a fast-paced environment. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a globally recognized best practice for risk assessments.
This course will introduce you to the latest standard released by a joint committee of the AIAG & VDA in 2019. This methodology supports robust practice for teams to investigate and document risk and actions by the team to reduce those risks.

AIAG & VDA FMEA Methodology
Unlock the power of FMEA with our engaging and interactive eLearning course. Our unique approach, that features learning texts, animations, and the delightful guidance of our kitchen guru, Murray, will demystify the 7-Step Methodology. Watch as we apply these steps to the process of baking delicious chocolate chip cookies, transforming complex concepts into easily digestible knowledge.
For learners with no prior experience with FMEA, our eLearning module “FMEA Introduction” is strongly recommended.
