Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic, team-oriented method intended to identify, analyze, and mitigate technical risks related to product and manufacturing process design. It supports the five APQP phases to improve customer satisfaction by emphasizing defect prevention. The utilization of FMEA is widely used across various industries and sectors.
Plexus offers training programs in both the AIAG & VDA FMEA methogology as well as the SAE J1739 FMEA methodology.
