Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
FMEA is a structured risk-assessment technique used to systematically identify potential failure points in a design or process, evaluate their causes and effects, and rank them by risk so teams can prioritize preventive action. It is a core tool in quality engineering, Six Sigma, and reliability engineering, commonly applied during product development and manufacturing process design. Teams typically document failure modes in a worksheet with severity, occurrence, and detection ratings to compute a risk priority number.
