DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)

Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) is a systematic process used by engineers to identify possible ways a product or component might fail before it is built. It assesses the likelihood of each failure, its potential impact, and how easily it can be detected. The goal is to find and address weaknesses early in the design phase to improve safety, reliability, and quality. By proactively analyzing potential problems, teams can prioritize improvements, reduce risks, and ensure the final product performs as intended.
