Abstract:

The paper presents the practical application of the FMEA analysis in designing a new processing line proposed for heat treatment. The FMEA process described in the paper was completed on the basis of a distributed organisation of workgroups set up to make the analysis. The paper outlines the problem of securing the reliability of the designed system. The effectiveness of the FMEA method in ensuring the high quality and reliability of the designed mechanical systems during design  is demonstrated  on the real example.
