In your manufacturing facility you probably have some kind of test equipment. There might be multimeters for checking electrical values, torque wrenches that are used on an assembly line to ensure bolts on assemblies are installed correctly, scales for measuring bins of parts by the number of parts in the bin, and a host of other physical items. If you have a testing facility in an electronics plant and need to conform to FCC Part 15 of the CFR, you might have a microwave testing chamber with microwave generators, amplifiers and antennas for this testing. These are just a few of countless examples of test equipment you might have.
FMEA is a tool embedded within Six Sigma methodology. (FMEA) Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is a technique that enables the identification and prevention of product or process errors before they occur. Identifying and eliminating concerns early incorporates the methodology of Six Sigma.
Preventative Maintenance Software is a CMMS (computerized maintenance management solution) that can help you achieve increased productivity, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life. Preventative maintenance software can track and analyze facility equipment maintenance information and its history. It will manage and track inventory and parts. This can create unlimited locations and usage codes for equipment and parts.
