Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA)

Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) is a systematic approach used by teams to identify potential problems in a manufacturing or business process before they happen. It involves reviewing each step to find possible failure points, assessing how likely they are to occur, and understanding their potential impact. The goal is to prioritize risks and implement improvements to prevent defects or errors. PFMEA helps organizations enhance quality, reliability, and safety by proactively addressing issues early in the process.
