FMEA (failure modes and effects analysis) is type of a reliability tool which is used to analyze the potential failures or risk in a product, design or process and to see if we have enough prevention and detection controls to avoid these failures.
Why we do FMEA:
Following are the reasons for doing FMEA:
• It is because we need to analyze all possible risk in the process/ products.
• It is a mandatory requirement for many quality management systems.
• It ensures the in-depth understanding of all fine details of each process step.
• It highlights the requirement of error proofing, gauging, sampling and validation.
FMEA characteristics
Following are the characteristic models of FMEA
• It is a living document
• It is very low investment plan
• It is Professional experience of a diversified team at its best
• It is a disciplined approach
• It Guarantees the success of product or process.
There are several types of FMEA; some are used much more often than others. FMEA should always be done whenever failures would mean potential harm or injury to the user of the end item being designed.
The types of FMEA are:
• System FMEA - Based on global system performance
• Design FMEA- based on components and subsystems
• Process FMEA- based on manufacturing and assembly processes
• Service FMEA- based on service performance
• Software - based on software performance
