FMEA: an effective strategy to improve your control processes by optimizing time and resources

ottobre 13, 2021
You have surely heard of FMEA and perhaps many of you have already implemented it for years. However, it seems interesting to me to address the issue to give you food for thought on how to optimize your control processes in time and resources, avoiding or rather significantly decreasing the possibility of a non-compliance.

Why is it important that all mechanical component manufacturers implement the FMEA?


FMEA is the acronym for failure mode & effects analysis and is used to analyze your production process in order to identify all the possible discarding elements of a non-conformity. Implementing these control processes means being able to open up to certain sectors such as the automotive sector. Here it is necessary to test and know with certainty the reliability of a machine and consequently of the components that are assembled. As we all know, each product is designed to carry out its work in a predefined period of time.

Another advantage of the implementation of the FMEA, which GSI noticed right away, is the ease of process analysis, with a consequent reduction in waste and greater customer satisfaction. It seems very simple to implement such an advantageous form of control, however it is necessary to have qualified and sufficiently trained personnel to be able to manage the forms to be provided to customers for component approval.

Do you need to be certified to be able to use these control tools?


Surely, if the prevailing reference sector is the automotive one, it is quite imperative. More than anything else, because they are processes that imply a continuous updating of the staff and adequate equipment in which to invest periodically. At GSI we have taken several courses to implement the FMEA, 8D, control plan and PPAP, equally interesting tools that we will talk about in more detail shortly.

Although currently GSI does not yet have the IATF certification, the staff is trained and routinely uses this type of documentation when requested by the customer. Certainly it is among the next projects to implement the certification.

Have you already implemented these lean and profitable forms of control?
