Vodcast: How to use FMEA, RPN and Process Sigma

When processes cycle infrequently, the FMEA, RPN and conversion to Process Sigma level provide the means to quantify the improvement. FMEA (failure modes and effects analysis) is a powerful tool for identifying, defining and quantifying root causes to operations issues. The RPN quantifies the impact of a potential root cause providing the means to rank the root causes. Converting the RPN into a Process Sigma Level is shown in a handy table.
