PFMEA

PFMEA, or Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, is a systematic approach used by organizations to identify and evaluate potential failures in a manufacturing or business process. It involves analyzing each step to determine how and why it might fail, the possible effects of those failures, and how serious they could be. The goal is to prioritize risks so that preventative actions can be implemented to improve quality, safety, and efficiency. Think of it as a proactive checklist that helps teams catch problems before they happen, minimizing disruptions and ensuring consistent results.
