Training of the FMEA in a Virtual Learning Environment

The sustainable teaching of quality methods in the sense of Lean Management and Six Sigma with the help of assistance systems, such as virtual reality glasses, represents a new and growing aspect of continuing education programs. The development and use of virtual learning environments offers the chance to deepen the theoretical prior knowledge through interactive learning opportunities. In this way, existing learning concepts are supplemented with virtual teaching content. Complex or difficult to present learning settings can be mapped virtually without high material consumption or operating costs. In this paper, the reference to quality methods for teaching with virtual reality is established and a classification in the Assisted Reality Implementation Model is made. Subsequently, the requirements for the programming of a virtual learning environment are shown. Using the example of the quality method Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, the procedure and implementation will be explained and the research question will be examined whether a reasonable implementation in virtual reality is possible. Special attention is paid to the technical implementation and the requirements for the design of the virtual environment. In order to be able to answer the research question, the question of acceptance is put in the foreground and this is carried out with the help of a questionnaire. In the following, first results of the explorative tests from used questionnaires are presented to get an overview of the explorative acceptance.
