Calling Engineers
 

I know FMEA stands for Failure modes and effects analysis but there's another piss taking for FMEA but I cant think what it is and its bugging me.

MTBF Mean Time Before Failure

Also 'The drop test' :D

DFMEA ....Design for manufacture and assy

FMEA ...... can be either process or design related


Not sure of a p'ss take version.

JIT ------ Just in time
JTL------ Just too late (more common)

Is it along the lines of "NTSC". Never the same colour twice?

Les :)

If you see this in your dear old relatives notes in hospital, panic TFBUNDY

FMECA - Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis

RTFM read the ****ing manual
JFDI just ****ing do it

are my favourites

Don't know the alternative to FMEA, but related to it is FACAR - Faliure Analysis and Corrective Action Report. As in "I'll get the FACAR to you on Monday " :D Used to brighten up my reliability meetings !

Fehler-Möglichkeiten & -einfluss Analyse? That's german for, wait for it, failure mode and effect analysis. How dull is that?

Don't know any spoof FMEA's though sorry.

It's what I do so I'd like the spoof version too!

Is there really that many reliability engineers on Scoobynet, I thought we were few and far between. Just about to start a FMEA for our new system and any spoof interpretation might make the reviews a bit more interesting. With relation to FACAR there's also FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System). I spend days running through the outputs of that with some of our customers.
