Understanding FMECA, RCA, and Value Engineering
Episode 39
Wednesday, 5 August, 2026
In this episode, co-hosts Heather Allain and Marc Cook welcome Maria Jose Oestergaard to explore three essential reliability and continuous improvement tools: Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and Value Engineering (VE). Maria Jose explains when to use each methodology, how to define the scope of an analysis, and the importance of assembling the right team and documenting findings throughout the process. She also discusses common triggers for implementing these tools, how organizations can leverage the results to improve performance, and when it makes sense to rely on internal expertise versus outside consultants. This episode is sponsored by Tricor Metals and Rolled Alloys. Corrosion Chronicles is produced by Association Briefings.
