FMEA - looking for good book

[Reminx123]

Hi

I am looking for a good book about FMEA; I know there is plenty of them in the market, that's why I am asking, to have some sort of "selection" that can guide to pickup the right one.
Book should be concise (not looking for 300-400 pages manual) and comprehensive, I have in mind Taiichi Ohno "Toyota production system" as the perfect example.

Any hint?

I've found the quality of FMEA work to have far more to do with the attitude of those doing the work than any processes they might be trained in. I've been horrified by people who do nothing but FMEA work for a living glossing over large areas of potential failures.

You mean Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) ? As in safety, explosions etc? I can't see Toyota's production system in that.
There are several texts on Functional Safety that explain the FMEA. It depends on if it is a transistor/MCU or burner gas valve that is failing, what your system looks like.

The Safety Critical Systems Handbook: A Straightforward Guide to Functional Safety: IEC 61508 (2010 Edition), IEC 61511 (2015 Edition) and Related Guidance
this is the latest but older editions are pretty good too.

This is not my expected answer, you do not suggest any book. Anyway thanks again for your effort

FMEA is not specifically a safety thing. Its about analysing the ways a system can fail, and the effects of those failures. There might be reduced functionality, a total loss of functionality, a cost impact, or there might be a safety impact.

Yes, Failure Mode Effect Analysis
I am sorry for the confusion, the reference to Toyota production system book (the one done by Taiichi Ohno) was added as an example of a book particularly well written

I've had to do a few FMEA and FMETs over the years.  The standards I had to follow were all mandates.  So sorry, no book on the subject just the standards.   These were product specific.   Some were at the PCB level, others at more a system level.  Never fun.
