DFMEA (Design FMEA)

Design FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a systematic process used by engineers to identify potential problems in a product’s design before it is built. It involves examining each component and function to find possible failure modes—ways things might go wrong—and assessing their impact on the overall product. The goal is to prioritize and address these risks early, ensuring the product is safer, more reliable, and performs as intended. Essentially, DFMEA helps prevent issues at the design stage, saving time and costs by reducing the chance of failures in the final product.
