About this event
Choosing between FTA and FMEA is not just a technical preference; it changes how you investigate risk, communicate failure logic, and decide where to act first. This online session is built for people who want a clearer, more practical answer to a common question: when should you use Fault Tree Analysis, and when does Failure Modes and Effects Analysis make more sense? If you have ever been in a meeting where both methods were mentioned as if they were interchangeable, this event will help untangle that confusion. Expect a focused, discussion-friendly virtual gathering that compares the two approaches in plain language and connects them to real decision-making.

Who should attend
This is for people who want a more practical, defensible way to decide between two widely used analysis methods. - You work in **reliability, quality, safety, systems, or engineering** and want a clearer grasp of when FTA or FMEA is the better fit. - You have heard both methods discussed before, but you want to move beyond definitions and understand **how to choose based on the problem you are solving**. - You are involved in **design reviews, risk assessments, failure investigations, or process improvement** and need analysis tools that support better decisions. - You need to explain these methods to **cross-functional teammates, managers, or stakeholders** and want language that is more precise and easier to use. - You are newer to structured failure analysis and want a grounded introduction that helps you build confidence without assuming deep prior expertise. - You enjoy **community-driven professional events** where you can learn something useful and also hear how others approach similar challenges. If you have ever asked yourself, "Should we use FTA here, or is this really an FMEA problem?" this session is designed for you.
