Design Fmea Example

Here's an overview of the 10 steps to a Process FMEA. STEP 1: Review the process. STEP 2: Brainstorm potential failure modes. STEP 3: List potential effects of each failure. STEP 4: Assign Severity rankings. STEP 5: Assign Occurrence rankings. STEP 6: Assign Detection rankings. STEP 7: Calculate the RPN.

There are five items that need to be addressed in the report: The scope of the FMEA. Who was involved with the FMEA and the time frame it was done in. Listing of the highest risks identified along with supporting information. Recommended (or completed) action plans. Suggestions for leveraging the FMEA study.

Types of FMEA: Process FMEA (PFMEA) Functional FMEA (FFMEA) / System FMEA (SFMEA)

This template illustrates a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), also referred to as a Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) or Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA).

Step 1: Identify potential failures and effects. The first FMEA step is to analyze functional requirements and their effects to identify all failure modes. Step 2: Determine severity. Severity is the seriousness of failure consequences of failure. Step 3: Gauge likelihood of occurrence. Step 4: Failure detection.
