FMEA

FMEA, or Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, is a systematic approach used to identify potential problems in a product or process before they occur. It involves examining each step or component to determine how it could fail, the reasons for such failures, and the potential consequences. By prioritizing these risks based on their likelihood and impact, teams can take proactive measures to eliminate or reduce the risks, ultimately enhancing safety, reliability, and quality. FMEA is widely used in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and automotive to improve processes and prevent costly errors.
