The FMEA was what I’m always looking it at with every claim, proposal, or decision. This is that red flag that “Pings” in my head anytime there is “certainty” in something – What is your FMEA? What are the conditions that assumptions or claim will be wrong? What is the risk of Failure or Wrong?
Recently I’ve read a bunch of stuff that supposes something to a level of certainty that I’m not comfortable with. That discomfort is what I’ve been conditioned to be the FMEA aka the clear criteria by which something may be wrong.
Its interesting that I’ve not read a Behavioral Study that talks about the narrow conditions the methodology is right, as well as the Conditions the assumptions of the Analysis is wrong. This has been greatly disturbing of late.
Risk Management is an improved part of the ISO 9001: 2015 because they were able to word it in a way that its actionable and measurable. The lesson I took about Risk Management is that We write down our assumptions so that we can use Checklist or a System to check when they are wrong.
Lately at work We’ve worded Understanding as knowing the Limits of a System or Procedure. So basically when I got into this frustrating debate – where the FMEA has not been worded or understood then I think its complicated.
the FMEA or Conditions by which MY Assumptions are wrong or DOUBTS is always a criteria for the understanding of anything. Doubt became my Guide in Project Management – as I began the entire process of Writing a Projects Goals, Plans, and Activities based on all that I didn’t know and needed to know.
Doubt or my Self Awareness to the Limits of my Knowledge – trained to be an actionable muscle in my mind has been very effective in so many things lately. To find it missing in someones plan, beliefs, and knowledge is a warning sign for me.
A warning that – we both may fall in that are where our blindspot or Bias. That we take on the mental load that prevents us from examining the quality of the Information. QA at the source, Garbage-in/Garbage-Out.
