FMEA Worksheet

An FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) Worksheet is a tool used to identify potential problems in a product or process before they happen. It lists possible failure modes (ways things could go wrong), evaluates their causes and effects, and assesses their severity, likelihood, and detectability. This helps teams prioritize risks and implement corrective actions to improve safety, quality, and reliability. Think of it as a proactive checklist that helps prevent issues by understanding and addressing risks early in the development or manufacturing process.
