Speaking Of Reliability: Friends Discussing Reliability Engineering Topics | Warranty | Plant Maintenance

NUDD

Abstract

Carl and Fred discuss an interesting question from an Accendo listener. The question has to do with what is called NUDD: New, Unique, Difficult, Different.
Specifically the listener’s management wanted to know if their NUDD process could replace FMEA.

Key Points

Join Carl and Fred as they deep dive into NUDD and FMEA. They examine both methods to see how they relate to each other.

Topics include:

• What is NUDD, and how does it work?
• What is the relationship between NUDD and FMEA?
• Can NUDD replace FMEA, and if not, why not?
• NUDD helps to identify higher risk issues, and can track follow up.
• FMEA is a deeper analysis that gets to root cause, risk analysis to prioritize issues, and recommendations to reduce risk.
• NUDD and FMEA can work together.
• NUDD does not replace FMEA.
• NUDD can be front end to FMEA to help identify focus areas.
• Don’t forget interfaces; more than half problems occur at interfaces.
• Discussion about following standards versus analytical thinking
• Reliability is a way of thinking, not merely a set of topics and methods.
• FMEA is not a “fill out the form” exercise.
• Don’t forget field history, as input to selecting projects.

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques to field data analysis approaches.
