FMECA - A Proven Business Improvement Tool in the Energy and Utility Industry

Failure Modes, Effects & Criticality Analysis

From its original starting point, this FMECA programme has then formed the basis for site wide improvement projects, some of which were not envisaged initially. It has also supported the formation of cross-functional teams that now have a better understanding of how the plants work and how each other’s roles impact on the other.

Project Features

The FMECA provided inputs into improvement processes that had stuttered to a halt for a long time. It kicked them back into life and improved the safety and reliability of the plants and reduced the frustration felt by many of the personnel concerning drawings and information availability.

Spending a little more time and effort took a standard FMECA and changed it into a complete business improvement process that has positively affected the whole of the site.

If you are considering implementing a CMMS or looking to reduce maintenance costs and increase reliability, then a FMECA programme can be the vehicle for achieving this.
