FMEA Forums

Dietz Consultants' International FMEA Forum has established itself as the most crucial platform for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Since 2005, the users, recognised experts and interested parties meet every year in Osnabrück. The aim is to share experiences and successful methods in the field of risk management and to present best of the practice solutions, developments, trends and future requirements for FMEA.

We’ll be kicking off the 15th FMEA Forum 2020 with a new workshop approach. On the day before the actual forum in Osnabrück, we’ll be working in three groups, focused on three key topics, to interactively identify the best of the FMEA world and look at how we can improve on this in cooperation with experienced professional FMEA moderators. In the workshop, we’ll explore and understand FMEA expertise, before joining forces to come up with concrete designs and implementation plans, based on the “appreciative inquiry” approach.

The results will also be presented at the FMEA Forum and subsequently compiled in a brochure, the “FMEA Guides”, which will be made available to the workshop participants.

The importance of FMEA, QM and risk management is increasing in medical technology. Agile product development and normative, legal or official requirements such as MDR are constantly presenting companies with new challenges. Because of that, the Forum Risk Management Medical Devices is, after the FMEA Forum, the second large network meeting of DIETZ Consultants - for FMEA experts, interested developers and manufacturers of medical devices.
