    Study Notes

    Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA)

    • The main focus of FMEA is to identify and evaluate potential failures in a process, product, or service, and to prioritize them based on their severity, occurrence, and detection.

    Failure Prioritization

    • Failures are prioritized in FMEA using the Risk Priority Number (RPN), which is a numerical value calculated by multiplying the severity, occurrence, and detection ratings of a failure.

    Failure Modes

    • In the context of FMEA, 'failure modes' refer to the ways in which a process, product, or service can fail to meet its intended function or performance.

    Risk Assessment

    • The purpose of assessing risk in FMEA is to identify and mitigate potential failures that could have a significant impact on the process, product, or service, and to ensure that adequate controls are in place to prevent or minimize their occurrence.

    Product Quality Improvement

    • FMEA contributes to product quality improvement over time by identifying and addressing potential failures, which helps to reduce defects, improve reliability, and increase customer satisfaction.
