AIn the world of quality planning and risk management, few tools are as impactful as FMEA – Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. That’s why we created a dedicated two-part podcast series to explore this essential topic in a practical, insightful, and professional way.
What’s it all about?
The series features two experienced experts discussing how to use FMEA effectively, what typical mistakes to avoid, and how the new FMEA Handbook has changed the game. They also share real-life examples, personal stories, and hands-on advice – not just for automotive professionals.
This is not an ongoing series – just two focused episodes packed with value.
Part 1: FMEA – More Than Just Mandatory Documentation
In the first episode, we take a deep dive into the real purpose of FMEA within quality planning. Is it just a formality, or can it truly add value? We explore how FMEA supports prevention, why teamwork is critical, and how to embed it meaningfully in your processes.
Part 2: The New FMEA Handbook and Real-World Challenges
The second episode covers practical challenges with the new FMEA Handbook, and how detection reliability depends not only on automation but also on human factors. We also discuss how the severity of a failure mode should be assessed differently depending on the stakeholder – from the end user to your internal or customer plants.
Who is this for?
Quality and process engineers
Project managers and production professionals
Leaders interested in robust quality planning
Anyone who wants to make FMEA a useful tool instead of a checkbox exercise
