Failure Mode and Effects Analysis for Maintenance Teams

Maintenance teams across Africa often react to failures rather than anticipating them, missing chances to design out recurring problems. This programme teaches Failure Mode and Effects Analysis as a structured team method to predict how equipment can fail, rank the risks and choose the right preventive actions. Participants leave able to facilitate an analysis workshop and turn its findings into practical maintenance tasks.
