Failure Mode, Effects (& Criticality) Analysis
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) are methodologies designed to identify potential failure modes for your product or process, to assess the risk associated with those failure modes, to rank the issues in terms of importance and to identify and carry out corrective actions to address your most serious concerns.
Although the purpose, terminology and other details can vary according to type (e.g. Process FMEA – PFMEA, Design FMEA – DFMEA, System FMEA, Product FMEA and FMECA), the basic methodology is similar for all. The fundamental steps, from assembling the team and gathering relevant information, to evaluating the risk from issues identified and distributing the information, can be facilitated by Wilde’s specialised FMEA / FMECA training and consulting services and ReliaSoft’s popular Xfmea software.
