Abstract
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a method of analysing potential failures of a product or process, in order to plan the necessary measures to prevent their occurrence. Being a critical analysis method, FMEA has extremely precise objectives: determining the weak points of a technical system; searching for the initiating causes of component dysfunction; determining the needs of technology upgrading and modernization of production; increasing the level of communication between work compartments, people, hierarchical levels; analysis of the consequences on the environment, the safety of operation, the value of the product; providing corrective actions to remove the causes of defects; providing a plan to improve product quality and maintenance. The FMEA must be used from the design phase before the product is made.This paper describes a study about the improving the quality process for an axis for packaging using FMEA method. The potential causes of the defects have been studied and improvement measures have been proposed. Among these we mention: implementation and monitoring of the preventive maintenance program; providing specific compliance; self-control, flow or sample control; periodic training and retraining; upgrading existing equipment, acquisition of more advanced software.
