Employing model based failure mode and effect analysis for screen printing

Abstract

This contribution introduces Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method applied for screen printing process. A model based paradigm is used for executing FMEA method. The Authors employ this approach for increasing its efficiency and productivity. This work builds on the achievements resulting from the previous works concerning applying the Model Based FMEA method for technological processes and products. In this article we present a knowledge model of screen printing process as well as meta-model of process generally. Finally, the report of potential defects, causes, consequences and provisions for investigated screen printing process in the FMEA sheet form is presented.
