1 SAMPLE PROPOSAL Yu are invited t submit a presentatin prpsal that addresses the Sympsium theme: "Sharing applicatins, success stries and lessns learned in reliability, durability and maintainability engineering." Please cmplete the fllwing presentatin prpsal frm and return it via t present@ardcnference.cm. Presentatin Prpsal 1. The title f the presentatin (remember that attendees have a chice f sessins t attend s the title shuld be interesting and als must accurately reflect the cntent f yur presentatin) Making FMEA a Mre Pwerful and Effective Reliability Tl 2. A shrt summary t describe the presentatin in the brchure and n the website (must be print-ready and apprximately wrds) Failure Mde and Effects Analysis (FMEA) has had varying degrees f success, as implemented by cmpanies wrldwide. When implemented effectively, this tl has the ptential t be a pwerful aid in reducing r eliminating the risk frm prduct designs and manufacturing prcesses t bring abut mre successful prduct launches. This presentatin examines why FMEA has nt been living up t its ptential in sme rganizatins, and describes hw t get better results with individual FMEAs and hw t implement a mre effective verall FMEA prcess. Fur key success factrs are highlighted: 1) an effective FMEA prcess, 2) strng management spnsrship, 3) adequate FMEA resurces and 4) best practice FMEA applicatin. 3. A detailed utline f the presentatin including the intrductin, the majr pints t be cvered and the cnclusin (see the sample prpsal fr guidance insert additinal lines belw as needed) Few reliability tls elicit strnger respnses frm quality and reliability prfessinals than Failure Mde and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Reactins arund the virtual water cler range frm waste f time, lack f supprt and dn t want anything t d with it all the way t pwerful tl, effective way t prevent prblems and needs t be dne acrss the bard. In fact, the success f this ptentially pwerful tl depends largely n hw FMEAs are perfrmed and managed within the rganizatin. There are fur brad success factrs that are critical t unifrmity f success in the applicatin f FMEA in any cmpany: 1) an effective FMEA prcess, 2) strng management spnsrship, 3) adequate FMEA resurces and 4) best practice FMEA applicatin. This presentatin highlights lessns learned frm the presenter s many years f experience perfrming and managing FMEA activities fr General Mtrs, participating in the develpment f the SAE J1739 standard fr Design, Prcess and Machinery FMEAs and facilitating FMEAs fr clients in gvernment and industry.

2 The majr pints t be cvered in the presentatin include: The primary reasns fr ineffective FMEAs (based n practical experience) The essential elements f an effective FMEA prcess FMEA Strategic Plan Prjects shuld be selected based n risk. Analyses shuld be dne during the windw f pprtunity. FMEA Resurce Plan A hmerm can be imprtant t prcess and executin. Training fr FMEA team members, facilitatrs and management is essential. Generic FMEAs A resurce f histric (empirical) and ptential failure mdes, effects, causes and cntrls at the generic level f the system, subsystem r cmpnent. Prgram-Specific FMEAs Perfrmed by a team f a manageable size with the required expertise during the windw f pprtunity that maximizes the impact f the analysis t drive imprvements. Basic FMEA Steps Management Reviews High risk issues shuld be escalated t the Failure Review Bard prcess t bring prper cntext and wnership t the issue. Quality Audits Prvides feedback lp t imprve the FMEA prcess. Quality Objectives samples are prvided in the appendices f the SAE J1739 standard. Supplier FMEAs Include the requirement fr FMEAs f supplier cmpnents that are identified as higher risk int the cntracts. Review supplier FMEAs based n the rganizatin s quality bjectives. Executin f Recmmended Actins FMEAs have little value unless the recmmended actins are fully executed. FMEA team shuld stay intact during the executin stage and shuld be empwered t initiate actins that will reduce the risk t an acceptable level. Linkage t Other Prcesses Ptential linkages include DFMEA t DVP&R; DFMEA t PFMEA, PFMEA t Prcess Flw Diagram and Cntrl Plan. Test and Field Failures One f the cmmn mistakes when implementing an FMEA is t mit subsequent test and field failures. Integrated Sftware Supprt

3 Relatinal database sftware can manage multiple FMEA prjects and help t ensure cnsistency, prvide charts and ther reprts t highlight prtins f the analysis, make lessns learned frm past FMEAs easily accessible, etc. Management Spnsrship and Supprt Management supprt is ften led by an FMEA champin at the executive level describe rle. Best Practice FMEA Applicatin Put tgether the right team D yur hmewrk Understand FMEA basics and prvide experienced and effective FMEA facilitatin Get the level f detail right This presentatin has highlighted lessns learned and tips fr maximizing the ptential f yur FMEAs by establishing an effective prcess, develping strng management spnsrship fr FMEA activities, prviding adequate resurces fr analysis activities and striving fr best practice FMEA applicatin. By mastering the fur success factrs described in this presentatin, an rganizatin will be able t make FMEA a mre pwerful and effective reliability tl. 4. A shrt explanatin f hw this presentatin will be f use t the reliability prfessinals wh attend the Sympsium (the business case ) FMEA is a ptentially pwerful reliability tl that can help an rganizatin t assess and reduce the risk assciated with prduct and prcess designs. Used effectively, the tl can help the rganizatin t imprve designs early in the develpment prcess when mdificatins are the mst cst-effective. The presenter s extensive experience perfrming, managing and facilitating FMEAs make him well-qualified t share practical insights t greatly imprve the effectiveness f an rganizatin s FMEA prjects 5. Keywrds t identify the main theme(s) f the presentatin FMEA, FMECA, Risk Assessment, Reliability Management
