To meet these requirements it is extremely important for manufacturing and developing companies to implement an early detection and prevention of failures. A widely used method, the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is used to detect and avoid potential errors in the early development process and as well as to optimize the system as a whole. The FMEA team is led by a moderator, and is interdisciplinary and cross departmental. The FMEA is carried out according to a systematic approach. For the implementation and documentation of the results, special software is available. As a rule the system function and malfunction, structures of the product and or process are created in the form of tree diagram. Afterwards the failure, failure causes, failure outcome, and existing measures are recorded in a form. If necessary, other measures and responsibilities are defined. The special software used for this purposes is criticized for the complicated user interface restricted access to the result and the inflexibility of the tree structure. In 2005, the Chair of Quality Management developed an Excel template to carry out the FMEA and to document the results, and since then it has been constantly under development. Using standardized software, the training period should be reduced and the flexibility to the results should be increased. Instead of using tree structures, company specific product and process visual aids are implemented. Both methods are tested in order to see the suitability in different situations and to support the implementation of the FMEA as well as the documentation of the results. The programs IQ-RM PRO 6.5 from APIS and the Excel template Flex-FMEA 2.0 from the Chair of Quality Management are compared to each other. Methodology The investigation of the suitability for the methods to carry out the FMEA and the documentation of the results is done through student experimentation and followed by a written survey. The suitability assessment of the method is been investigated through the influence of the group size and the nature of the FMEA. The students are divided into groups with one group testing a FMEA using the IQ-RM PRO 6.5 from APIS and the other group using the Excel template Flex-FMEA 2.0 from the Chair of Quality Management. The group size and the nature of the FMEA varies. The objects of observation in the FMEA are not very complex and everyday relatable so that every participant is actively involved. Findings and Value of Paper The results show the impact of group size and nature of the FMEA in relation to the suitability assessment of both methods. It is interesting to examine the influence of other factors, for example, the experience of the participants or the complexity of the objects of observation on the suitability assessment. Through the investigation, situational specific recommendations for both methods can be deduced.

Methodology/Approach: Video tutorial prototypes were created according to design criteria found in literature and tested as teaching material of selforganized/self-regulated learning. 65 students were parted in two groups and asked to work on an assignment concerning the use of quality tools in Microsoft Excel. One group used video tutorials and the other group was guided by a teacher. Before and after the assignment the students were asked to fill out a survey evaluating their software skills as well as the aid used during the test. Findings: The results of the survey do not show a significant difference between the evaluation of video tutorials and guidance of the teacher. Also the performance of both groups concerning the assignment was comparable. From these findings it can be concluded that video tutorials and classroom teaching are equal ways of teaching in the investigated field. Research Limitation/implication: The suitability of video tutorials for the application of quality-tools with the use of appropriate software has been confirmed. The results do not show conclusions about the extent to which video tutorials can be suitable for the mediation of complex issues. Follow-up studies are required for this purpose. Originality/Value of paper: The study demonstrates that video tutorials, as a form of self-organized/self-regulated learning, are suitable to improve skills in applying quality tools by using software.
