Initial situation<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Highly complex development and manufacturing processes; global engineering teams; stringent documentation and traceability requirements<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Challenge<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Aviation projects require robust and systematic risk analyses. FMEA processes had been applied inconsistently, in some cases having developed over time. The client was seeking methodological expertise, experience with safety-critical and complex systems, and professional facilitation in a demanding and critical team environment. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Approach to a solution<\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Analysis of existing FMEA structures and identification of opportunities for optimisation<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Harmonisation of procedures to ensure consistent and effective application of FMEA<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Result<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Significantly improved traceability and quality of risk analyses; standardised FMEA methodology; reduction in safety-critical risks<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

G\u00fcnter Nuss<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Initial situation<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Different RD departments without a standardised methodology; specific characteristics were not consistently identified; no professional FMEA software was in use <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Challenge<\/h4>\n<\/div>

A lack of standardisation led to significant variation in the way FMEA was carried out. The client was seeking methodological expertise, process design know-how and experience in selecting and implementing professional FMEA software. Furthermore, coaching for the facilitators was crucial to ensuring the sustainable application of FMEA. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Approach to a solution<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Result<\/h4>\n<\/div>

G\u00fcnter Nuss<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Initial situation<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Development projects running in parallel; different teams specialising in mechanics, electronics, software and production; FMEA methods not applied consistently, particularly at the interface with FTA and FMEDA<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Challenge<\/h4>\n<\/div>

There was a significant need for coordination between interdisciplinary teams; the lack of a structured facilitation approach led to long lead times and a lack of transparency in risk assessment. The client was seeking a facilitator with a sound grasp of methodology and a comprehensive understanding of systems, design, processes and medical technology. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Approach to a solution<\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Result<\/h4>\n<\/div>

More efficient and effective FMEA creation; improved team collaboration (CFT); clear risk transparency, including residual risks; reduced development risks; audit-ready, structured FMEA documentation <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Initial situation<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Several global production sites; a process landscape that has evolved over time with inconsistent RM; validation documentation (IQ, Installation, OQ, Operational, PQ, Performance) not consistently harmonised; FDA audits are becoming increasingly critical, highlighting non-conformities<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Challenge<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Complex regulatory requirements (FDA, ISO 14971, MDR). A lack of consistent PFMEA structures across critical \u2013 and, in particular, innovative \u2013 manufacturing processes such as vacuum brazing, assembly and testing. The client required a partner with an in-depth understanding of medical technology processes, regulatory compliance and the practical implementation of PFMEA. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Result<\/h4>\n<\/div>
