There will be a Northeast Product Safety Society meeting on Wednesday, February 26th, at EMC Corporation's Customer Briefing Center at 42 South Street in Hopkinton, MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 7:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:30 PM. David W. Simmerer, former Director of Product Reliability at Olson Manufacturing Company, will present this month’s topic on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
David’s presentation will provide an overview of FMEA and it’s methodology with an example analysis using a Ford car door. He will illustrate FMEA application with past experiences such as brain shunts for J&J in Switzerland, Otis Elevator, and some actual hospital process FMEA's that have done to prevent patient mix-up of diagnosis and prescriptions and stealing of infants, etc. David will condense what is normally a two or three day seminar into 1 hour, and still leave time for Q&A and discussions afterwards. If you have never taken part in a FMEA this will be a new insight for you, and if you have, then this can provide some refresher information. David W. Simmerer is a management consultant with over 40 years of experience in all areas of quality improvement.
