Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA): An EAM Best Practice Webinar

GenesisSolutions, a Fully Integrated Global EAM Service Provider, will be leading a complimentary EAM Best Practice Webinar on Wednesday January 22, 2014 at 11am ET. The focus of the discussion will be on the basics of Failure Mode & Effects Analysis and the resultant benefits.

In world class facilities that practice Asset Management based upon Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is the foremost foundational tool utilized. The FMEA is a cornerstone and provides the basis from which a highly effective proactive asset management program can be developed from and sustained. When properly performed, the FMEA will systematically evaluate physical assets for their design, function, operating context, failures, and consequences.

These failures and consequences (sometimes catastrophic) lead to unreliable assets, injuries, lost production opportunities, and reduced profit margins. This webinar will demonstrate the basics of performing an FMEA process and its benefit confirming why it is the keystone to creating and sustaining a reliable facility, organization, or industry.
