Course Description

FMEA for Monitoring and System Response (MSR) may be used to examine systems which have integrated fault monitoring and response mechanisms during operation. Typically, these are more complex systems composed of sensors, actuators and logical processing units. The diagnosis and monitoring in such systems may be achieved through hardware and/or software. Systems that may be considered in a Supplemental FMEA for Monitoring and System Response consist in general of at least a sensor, a control unit, and an actuator or a subset of them and are called mechatronic systems.

As cars are employing a growing number of mechatronic systems to provide safety and comfort to occupants there is a general recognition of the urgent need for conducting effective FMEA-MSR. This challenge makes the new AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook a critical update for the industry. The concept of robustness exists throughout all sections of the new FMEA-MSR development approach, which is presented in the new AIAG & VDA Handbook. The Handbook contains a structured method for identifying mechatronic systems functions and their potential failure modes with special emphasis on the linkages with functional safety requirements as described in ISO 26262.

Days 1 and 2 of this course builds the foundation on how to develop effective DFMEAs. Then on day 3 you will learn how to develop FMEAs for product designs using Mechatronics systems, also known as Supplemental FMEA-MSRs.

Note: This course is delivered onsite as Live Virtual Workshop or In-person training. Open enrollment is not offered.

For training delivered on-site at your organization, a one (1) day add-on Application Coaching Workshop service is available (i.e. facilitated development of a partial FMEA-MSR based on the Implementation Plan).
