Article Main Content

One of the growing concerns in companies in developed countries and in Brazil is to look for new ways to stay in the market, increasing their productivity and improving the quality of their products. The FMEA methodology allows us to avoid, through the analysis of potential failures and proposals for improvement actions, failures in the design of the product or process occur, in order to increase reliability. The reliability of a product is the reflection of the number of failures it presents when subjected to stress tests, thus helping in the detection of problems, determining the time to be offered as a guarantee and helping in the prevention of new failures. The objective of this article is to present a proposal for the application of an FMEA in a white line company, where there is a product with a high failure rate, in which this issue will be analyzed and direct proposals for improvements, seeking to reduce its occurrence in the product.

Keywords: Continuous Improvement, Failure, FMEA, Reliability
