INTRODUCTION FOR DESIGN FAILURE MODE EFFECT ANALYSIS

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is an analytical technique used primarily by a Engineer/Team as a means to ensure that, to the extent possible, potential failure modes and their associated causes/mechanisms have been considered and addressed. End items, along with every related system, subassembly, and component, should be evaluated. In its most rigorous form, an FMEA is a summary of the team’s thoughts (including an analysis of items that could go wrong based on experience) as a component, subsystem, or system is designed. This systematic approach parallels, formalizes, and documents the mental disciplines that an engineer normally goes through in any design process.
