Improving Technological Process Performance by Using FMEA: A Study Case

Abstract:

This paper reports the description of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) methodology design and implementation in an industrial system, where it could be used as a tool to assure products quality, and as a mean to improve operational performance of the production cycle. The work was developed in a Romanian sugar factory, in co-operation with part of the internal staff, chosen as FMEA team members, and it was focused on the study of the crystal sugar lines. All the work done permits to increase company’s knowledge and the control of the capacity on processes and products. The FMEA methodology operated in different production phases allowed to study and analyse every single step of production cycle and to achieve an exhaustive knowledge and improvement of products and processes.
