Failure Mode and Effects Analysis

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method used to identify potential problems in a process before they occur. It involves examining each step of a process to determine where things could go wrong (failure modes) and assessing the impact of those failures. By prioritizing risks based on their severity, likelihood, and detectability, teams can create targeted solutions to improve the process. This proactive approach helps organizations enhance quality, reduce errors, and prevent costly issues, ultimately leading to better outcomes for customers and stakeholders.
