FMEA Foundation is Function
One of the most common causes of chronic failure stems from organizations trying to get a machine to do something it wasn’t designed to do. A function is not what the OEM designed the machine to do, it’s what the organization needs it to do. Writing a proper function in FMEA analysis will help teams discover what the organization needs the machine to do within operations. This is important for several reasons.
2. FMEA separate from team
FMEA actions are taken on by an individual or only part of the reliability team, like systems or design engineers. But everyone should be involved in FMEA because reliability is everyone’s responsibility.
3. FMEA not carried out properly
FMEA takes time to create, but that time pays off with improved maintenance.
