PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)

PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a structured approach used to identify potential problems in a manufacturing or business process before they happen. Teams analyze each step to find ways it could fail, assess how serious that failure would be, and determine how likely it is. They then prioritize these risks and develop strategies to prevent or minimize them. This proactive method helps ensure products are made safely, efficiently, and with fewer defects, ultimately improving quality and reducing costs by addressing issues early in the process.
