10 Reasons to do FMEAS with AI
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Amazing products are 90 % identical to mediocre products. It is that last 10 % where failures, forgotten features, overlooked interfaces, and all manner of other things reside. FMEAs and FMECAs are tremendously powerful tools (when done right) at finding the ‘vital few’ things you can address in your first and early design iterations that make everything else that follows a breeze. FMEAs and FMECAs are also awful (when done wrong), as they waste everyone’s time, create no meaningful design guidance, and are just forced upon the tragic few. Then there is AI … which promises to do it all for us! This is not the case. Beyond what standard ‘ISO/IEC 23894:2023 – AI and Risk Management’ says you can and can’t do, AI can only help you get on top of that 90 %. That 90 % is absolutely essential – but at best, AI can quickly get you to mediocre. It is the human brain that takes care of the rest. This webinar gives you 10 reasons why you should do FMEAs and FMECAs properly – and use AI to accelerate getting on top of that 90 % so you can focus on that amazing new product.
This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 27 January 2026.
