This is a complete guide to failure mode and effect analysis (Fmea) - the process of understanding and applying a methodological approach to problems, errors, and failures. Author D.H. Stamatis explains the process of conducting system, design, process, and service Fmeas, and provides the rationale for doing so. Issues that are completely addressed include: What an Fmea is, how an Fmea is used, if Fmea can be applied to all industries, how Fmea applies to service industries, how it applies to the ISO 9000 series of quality standards, and more. This text also establishes the legal need for an Fmea and its relationship to product liability. A variety of examples of Fmea forms, checklists, and sample guidelines is another unique feature of this book. A summary of mathematical formulae and tools used in Fmea is also presented. The more than 10 real-world examples and how-to specifics show how Fmea can work for any organization.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive but repetitive,
This review is from: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis: FMEA from Theory to Execution (Hardcover)
Stamatis has written the most comprehensive reference available on FMEA. However, much of the information in the book is repeated multiple times. The book does not contain much theory on FMEA and does not include the history of FMEA. This book does not serve as a good introduction to FMEA--Stamatis seems to assume that the reader already has a solid understanding of FMEA. If you want a helpful introduction to FMEA, I suggest you buy The Basics of FMEA by McDermott, Mikulak, and Beauregard. The book consists of 13 chapters. The first chapter covers the legal approach to liability. Chapter 2 provides a general overview of FMEA. Chapter 3 is a glossary of terms. Chapter 4 talks about how teams use FMEA. Stamatis asserts that there are four types of FMEA: system, design, process, and service and these types are covered in the next four chapters. Stamatis also includes chapters on the use of FMEA in these industries: electromechanical, computers, semiconductors, and medical devices. The remaining chapter discusses ISO 9000. This book might have been twice as helpful if it had been half as long.

Not worth the money...,
By Rai Chowdhary "Rai" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis: FMEA from Theory to Execution (Hardcover)
While the material discussed is ok, I found it hard to justify the cost of the book. There seemed to be much redundancy in the book as well. It would have been wonderful if the author had finished what he wanted to say in half as many pages. As a seminar leader, instructor, and practitioner, I find it hard to recommend

Excelent,
This review is from: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis: FMEA from Theory to Execution (Hardcover)
This is the second time I bought the same book from Stamatis.
The first one I gave to one friend. He push me do give it as a gift. This second edition is far better.
