AbstractThis paper presents a failure analysis of real industry case using FMECA method. The case study is conducted in a tyre manufacturing industry focusing on the machine components mechanism failures. Field failures record data are systematically analyzed to identify and classify the failure modes, effects and determined the criticality index on the subject under study. The details of step-by-step in applying FMECA according to the case study, the results and discussion have been presented accordingly. It is then concluded and proved that the FMECA method is beneficial to rank and prioritize failures systematically and thus help engineering team to perform the improvement project based on the right problem.
