Abstract
Organizations have used the Failure Mode and its Effects Analysis (FMEA) technique, which is considered one of the most effective methods in the industry and is of outstanding importance for quality management to identify known and potential errors. This study aims to use the Failure Mode and its Effects Analysis technique in improving the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), representing a community The study was the centrifugation station, one of the stations of the production department in the Al-Ittihad Sugar Refining Plant. The study sample was (16 batch centrifugal). The study used the Pearson correlation coefficient to prove that using the (FMEA) technique leads to improving (OEE) indicators. The study demonstrated the existence of an inverse correlation between the failure mode technique, analysis of its effects, and overall equipment effectiveness, and it came up with a set of recommendations, the most prominent of which is focusing on conducting periodic inspection of equipment at close intervals, as it contributes to early detection of potential failure modes and taking measures that prevent failure from occurring or reduce its effects on the equipment.
