Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach used to identify potential problems in a process or product before they happen. It involves examining each part or step to find ways it could fail, understanding how that failure might impact the overall system, and prioritizing which issues need fixing most urgently. The goal is to proactively prevent failures, improve quality, and ensure safety by addressing risks early on. It’s a valuable tool in design and manufacturing to make systems more reliable and reduce unexpected problems.
