Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for Small Business Owners and Non-Engineers by Marcia M. Weeden Pdf

This book is intended for small business owners and non-engineers such as researchers, business analysts, project managers, small non-profits, community groups, religious organizations, and others who want an assessment tool that can provide methods for: - identifying the areas or actions that may be at risk for failure - ranking the risks that they may be facing, and - determining the degree of threat being faced. While an FMEA is a tool of reliability engineering, this book sidesteps the complex approach that reliability engineering can take; therefore, it does not cover all aspects and applications of an FMEA. This book provides sufficient information about FMEAs, without requiring the expertise of an engineer or statistical analyst, to establish specifications and for making cost-effective, informed decisions. FMEAs are valuable for: - developing policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs) - developing system, design, and process requirements that eliminate or minimize the likelihood of failures - developing designs, methods, and test systems to ensure that errors or failures are automatically corrected, errors or failures are flagged for correction, the potential for errors or failures have been eliminated, or risks are reduced to acceptable levels - developing and evaluating of diagnostic systems, and - helping with design choices (trade-off analysis)

Making Change in Complex Organizations by George K. Strodtbeck Pdf

This book is written for the leader or management team of any complex organization attempting to lead an organization-wide change. Successfully leading change has never been easy. Many realities of life in the 21st century have combined to intensify the challenge. This book captures the lessons learned during more than 43 years of experience working in complex, large-scale organizations, 14 years between West Point and the United States Army and more than 29 years in two large, very different American companies. These lessons learned are shared in the hope that it will help others lead change successfully and avoid at least some of the pitfalls that come with it. The principles and questions in this book also benefit leaders making changes in the small organization or those who desire to transform their small organization into a large one. This book is intended to serve as a leaders’ guide of things to think about and how to plan for successful change. Many books have been written about management and leadership, as well as the dos and must-dos of leading an organization. But few books discuss what it takes to make changes in today’s complex organizations, and those that do are often written by consultants who have not practiced what they propose over any significant period of time. This book, by contrast, draws lessons from a successful long-term change made by leaders who had a personal and financial stake in the organization’s success and saw the change all the way through. hr"In my 40 years at Cummins one of the most successful changes made was our adoption of Six Sigma. When I became CEO it was clear that we needed to improve our product and overall business performance. We chose Six Sigma to help us do that. George's book concisely captures many of the things we had to think about when implementing Six Sigma throughout the company. I believe this is a good guide for any leader contemplating making an organization-wide change." Tim Solso former CEO Cummins, Inc. "As CEO I have discovered that just saying I want something done doesn’t make it happen. Change done well is hard work. George’s book is a practical go-to guide for driving lasting change." Tom Linebarger CEO Cummins, Inc. "In medicine today ever-higher quality has become an expectation. This expectation is causing us increasingly to transition from volume-based to value-based medicine. As an industry we are quickly adapting to this new value-based world. However, organizations don’t transform easily. It requires dedicated and engaged teams to be leaders of change in their industry. I have been waiting for a book like this for years...whether you are a medical student or a senior attending physician...George Strodtbeck’s book on Making Change is a must read!!!" James Grant, M.D. Chair, Department of Anesthesiology Beaumont Health System, Royal Oak, Michigan "George Strodtbeck draws on more than three decades of personal experience in planning and executing change in complex organizations. His incisive, fast-paced writing explains, engages and motivates. His guidance is candid about challenges faced but simultaneously practical and actionable in today’s organizations. This book is for any leader seeking to accelerate the pace of change, improvement and innovation in their organizations." Mohan V. Tatikonda, PhD Professor of Operations Management Kelley School of Business, Indiana University

Practical Guide to FMEA : A Proactive Approach to Failure Analysis by Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman Pdf

FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis) is a method for gathering information about potential points of failure in a design, manufacturing process, product, or service. Failure mode (FM) refers to the manner in which something may fail. It includes potential errors that could occur, particularly errors that could have an impact on the customer. Deciphering the consequences of those breakdowns is part of effective analysis (EA). This is accomplished by ensuring that all failures can be detected, determining how frequently a failure may occur, and determining which potential failures should be prioritized. FMEA templates are commonly used by business analysts to aid in the completion of analyses. FMEA is a risk assessment tool with a 1-10 scoring scale. A one indicates low risk, while a ten indicates extremely high risk. FMEA is an effective method for development and manufacturing organizations to reduce potential failures throughout the product lifecycle. Six Sigma's project team use FMEA in the Analyze stage of DMAIC because extraordinary quality is not only designed into the product, it is designed into the development process itself. This book includes various real case studies and offers a step-by-step training for constructing FMEA.

Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma by Fausto Pedro García Márquez,Isaac Segovia,Tamás Bányai,Péter Tamás Pdf

Lean Manufacturing, also called lean production, was originally created in Toyota after the Second World War, in the reconstruction period. It is based on the idea of eliminating any waste in the industry, i.e. any activity or task that does not add value and requires resources. It is considered in every level of the industry, e.g. design, manufacturing, distribution, and customer service. The main wastes are: over-production against plan; waiting time of operators and machines; unnecessary transportation; waste in the process itself; excess stock of material and components; non value-adding motion; defects in quality. The diversity of these issues will be covered from algorithms, mathematical models, and software engineering by design methodologies and technical or practical solutions. This book intends to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the current state, cases studies, hardware and software solutions, analytics, and data science in dependability engineering.

Where Do We Start Our Improvement Program? by Ron Moore Pdf

It is the last in a series of three books focused on improving operational performance in large industrial facilities. It expands on a chapter common to the first two - Making Common Sense Common Practice, and What Tool? When? A Management Guide for Selecting the Right Improvement Tools by providing additional detail and case studies on how to use an analysis tool called a Business Level FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis). In particular, the case studies and analysis technique are illustrated by using fictitious characters that play specific roles, including their dialogue, such that it will take you through the analysis methodology as if it were happening in front of you. Most engineers are familiar with failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), a technique for improving machinery and equipment reliability by analyzing its functional requirements, failure modes and effects, and then taking appropriate action better manage those potential failures. However, in using these principles, this book does not focus on a given machine and its failure modes, but rather focuses on the business, specifically analyzing a production line or process at an operating to determine where the major business opportunities are relative to the gross profit associated with improved production, or reducing any extraordinary costs. In applying these principles at a business level, an element of the business is reviewed, such as a production line, defining a functional failure as anything which results in a production loss from ideal, or in extraordinary costs beyond ideal. All kinds of scenarios can evolve in this analysis, many unexpectedly so, driving the business to do any number of things, depending on their specific situation. So, the purpose of this book is to illustrate the methodology, and then provide numerous examples of how the technique can be applied in varying circumstances, helping you prioritize your efforts.
