The need for asset integrity is a key driver for any industry. Improving maintenance and reliability ensures the optimum performance of assets against a backdrop of regulatory, safety and cost pressures. Maintenance needs to improve the integrity and availability of assets while minimizing costs. FMECA is a methodology for predicting potential failures and the consequences of those failures. The output of the analysis is used to direct effort appropriately into preventing failures, with the overall aim of reducing the risk of failure to an acceptable level. Criticality analysis is a key technique for understanding which items of equipment, or systems, are most important to operations. Knowing which items are most critical allows engineers to prioritize maintenance effort into the most beneficial and necessary areas for the business. When applied effectively criticality analysis and FMECA both result in optimizing equipment maintenance policies that save money and increase reliability.
Salvo Global’s online masterclass is intended to provide a solid foundation of the Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) or Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) based on defined industry standards and requirements. Mastering the content will improve product quality, reliability, and launch effectiveness.
