    Study Notes

    • Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic process to recognize and evaluate potential failures in a product or process, and their impacts.
    • FMEA helps identify actions to prevent or reduce the chances of failures, and it documents the entire process.
    • It complements the process of defining design requirements to meet customer satisfaction and can be used in design for safety and reliability.
    • Benefits of FMEA include improved product and process design, reduced costs related to poor quality, and enhanced productivity and reliability.
    • FMEA can be applied to product design, manufacturing processes, and systems, stimulating the development of new technologies by highlighting design flaws.
    • Three key factors in FMEA are the severity of failure, the probability of occurrence, and the probability of detection, each rated by the design team.
    • Risk Priority Number (RPN) is calculated by multiplying severity, occurrence, and detection ratings to prioritize areas for improvement in product design.
