Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for identifying potential failure modes in a system, product, or process. It helps prioritize actions to prevent failures before they occur.

Overview

• FMEA Overview - Introduction to FMEA concepts and methodology

Create and Modify

Build and maintain your FMEA analysis:

• Create FMEA - Create a new FMEA worksheet

Working with Groups

• Add Group - Add a new group to organize failure modes
• Insert Group - Insert a group at a specific location
• Remove Group - Remove a group from the FMEA

Working with Failure Modes

• Add Failure Mode - Add a new failure mode
• Insert Failure Mode - Insert a failure mode at a specific location
• Remove Mode - Remove a failure mode

Working with Failure Causes

• Add Failure Cause - Add a cause for a failure mode
• Insert Failure Cause - Insert a failure cause at a specific location
• Remove Failure Cause - Remove a failure cause

Analysis

• Pareto FMEA - Create Pareto charts to prioritize failure modes by RPN
