In this session from The Reliability Conference, Emily Schickler, Maintenance and Reliability professional at Owens Corning, breaks down the common pitfalls that prevent Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) from reaching its full potential.
Emily discusses the Owens Corning project workflow and explains how timing, proper scoping, and team alignment are critical to de-risking equipment. The presentation covers:
- The "Window of Opportunity" to influence design reliability.
- How to categorize FMEAs by goal (Functional, Design, Process, or Equipment).
- Practical equations for estimating FMEA time requirements.
- Strategies to drive down Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) through elimination and substitution rather than just administrative controls.
