“If I were forced to pick one continuous improvement tool to have in my problem-solving toolbox it would be the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, or FMEA” – Ron Pereira, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Gemba Academy


KELLER, Texas (PRWEB)

Gemba Academy, the world’s largest provider of continuous improvement, Lean, and Six Sigma training and certification is introducing a new course in their quickly expanding online training catalog on Fail­ure Modes and Effects Analy­sis, abbre­vi­at­ed FMEA. This course describes FMEA as a struc­tured approach for iden­ti­fy­ing the ways that a prod­uct or process can fail, what caus­es the fail­ure, and how this affects the cus­tomer. Participants in this course will learn how to apply FMEA to improv­e the safe­ty, reli­a­bil­i­ty, and per­for­mance of process­es, prod­ucts, and services.

“If I were forced to pick one continuous improvement tool to have in my problem-solving toolbox it would be the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, or FMEA,” explains Ron Pereira, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Gemba Academy, “An FMEA is a structured approach for identifying the ways that a product or process can fail, what causes the failure, and how this affects the customer. We can benefit from using the FMEA whenever we need to identify and manage risk including new product and process launches.”

Gemba Academy’s Fail­ure Modes and Effects Analy­sis course consists of bite-sized training videos as well as short quizzes to check for understanding. The first video in the series is available to watch now and gives an overview of the benefits of the course and topic.
