Run a Crane Trip FMEA
Apply FMEA to a recurring crane-trip problem and choose the strongest preventive action.
Crane 4 trips repeatedly during hatch changes, creating small visible downtime but high critical-path disruption. FMEA: function, failure mode, effect, severity, occurrence, detection, action The shortcut is to rank the problem by average downtime minutes. That misses the operational effect when a short trip blocks the vessel's critical sequence. Function Define the required function: Crane 4 completes planned lifts safely and continuously through hatch-change sequences. FMEA starts with function. Without the function, the team cannot say what failure means. Failure mode and effect Failure mode: trolley-limit sensor trips under vibration. Effect: critical hatch work stops, yard tractors wait loaded, and…
