FMEA: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis

An FMEA is basically a Risk Analysis Tool that helps us, in a structured way, to detect all potential sources of failure in a design and all process steps, against functional requirements, including their effects and their causes.

Product fail to satisfy customer requirements and expectations due to following reasons:

Errors in design
Product misuse
Flaws induced by the manufacturing processes
Not understanding customer requirements properly
Repeated defects from suppliers
Re occurrence of internal failures

We need a systematic method of identifying and preventing system, product and process problems before they occur.

We conduct FMEA to improve quality of final product and to reduce total cost. It contributes to improved designs for product, processes resulting in higher reliability, better quality, increased safety and improved customer satisfaction. If FMEA is applied, number of failures will be detected at a very early stage. It decreases development time, redesign costs, warranty costs, and decreasing waste and non value added operations.

Thank you for reading this article and i hope this helped to understand what is FMEA process.

Introduction to IoT ecosystem

Basics of IoT IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a network where devices communicate to devices and devices communicate to software applications over the internet . This web-enabled devices/internet enabled devices will usually collect data, send and act upon data from their surrounding environment. • The IoT network consists of Edge side (sensors, actuators and controllers connected to the internet) and Cloud side. • The devices on the Edge side can either connect to the internet directly or using an Edge (IoT) gateway . The Edge gateway is used for: • Providing a connection to the internet for devices that cannot connect to the internet on their own. These devices don’t have feature to connect to the Internet. • Local functionality/control that must work even without internet availability • ...

Introduction to Modelling and Simulation

What is about Today? Modeling & simulation is use of the physical, mathematical or logical representation of a system , entity or process and these models reduces the development time and cost of the system and it optimizes the design. Simulation is the imitation of the real-world process or system. To simulate something, it requires a model to be developed, and these model represents the key characteristics, behaviors and functions of the selected system or process.Modelling an act of building a model and Simulation is act of using a model. Simulation software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. Advantages: Allows to understand how the system operates in real-time system in virtual environment. Easy to make changes in to the system and their effect on the output. Can determine the system requirements by applying different configurations. Performing bottleneck analysi...

Introduction to Deep Learning

Deep Learning is a type of machine learning in which a model learns to perform classification tasks directly from images, text or sound. Its usually implemented using a neural network architecture. Here deep refers to the "Number of layers in the network" i.e the more layers, the deeper the network. Traditional neural network contain only 2-3 layers, but in deep network contains hundreds of layers. Deep learning example is A self-driving vehicle slows down as it approaches a pedestrian network . Deep learning is especially well-suited to identification applications such as face recognition, text translation, voice recognition and advanced driver assistance systems and traffic sign recognition etc. Deep learning is growing faster because it really works. What is the Difference Between Deep Learning and Machine Learning? Deep learning is a sub-type of machine learning. For example with machine learning, you manually extract the relevant features of...
