Simplified FMEAs

In high-mix-low-volume environment, a major struggle in FMEA is lack of data to support meaningful risk scoring, particularly Occurrence and sometimes Detection. As an option, FMEA-lite can be considered to use simpler risk analysis technique to do initial risk assessment as triage, to improve efficiency and effectiveness. This advanced, tiered and solution-focused practice may not be acceptable in highly regulated or automotive industry, but can work well when FMEA isn’t regulated (by agencies or customers).

How Baseball Teaches Us About Human Error

This session will dive into the practical side of human error, a key part of Human Reliability Analysis (HRA).

With over 30 different methods to evaluate human reliability, it's easy to get things too complicated, too fast. The session will simplify and make the topic practical.

Human errors in the workplace will be compared with those in baseball, the only sport that officially tracks this metric. This isn't just a fun comparison—baseball is big business. The baseball equipment market was worth $15.2 billion in 2018 and could reach $19.22 billion by 2025. Major League Baseball alone made $3.66 billion in 2020.

We'll look at human error through nine key points:

Errors need written rules to judge them.
Errors are based on what a "normal" player can do.
Errors are blamed on players.
Errors aren't blamed on equipment, managers, or systems.
Errors are measured against an external standard (like the opposing team in baseball).
Errors don't include intentional rule breaking.
Errors aren't used for disciplinary actions.
Errors affect the performance stats of other players.
Errors are used in statistical analysis.

This session offers a practical way to understand human errors, a topic that doesn’t get a lot of attention at ASQ quality and reliability conferences and meetings. It takes a fresh and relatable approach by making comparisons with what we encounter every day at work with America’s pastime.
