Quality Digest

We have always used teams that include the designer(s), maintainers, and
actual users of a process. We have found that limiting the group size to
about six works best for us. We also try to move the FMEA along so it
doesn't drag out. There is a FMEA message board in the web site
http://www.qs9000.com/Forums/index.php that may be helpful.

With the recent focus on patient safety my healthcare organization is
looking to use FMEA as one tool for improvement. Any advice on structuring
teams for this purpose?
