FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis)

FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis) is a systematic process used to identify potential failures in a product or system, understand their causes, and assess their impact. It helps prioritize risks by evaluating how likely each failure is and how severe its effects could be. By doing this, organizations can take proactive steps to prevent failures or minimize their consequences, ensuring improved safety, reliability, and performance. Essentially, FMECA acts like a preventive health check for systems, allowing teams to manage risks effectively before problems occur.
