What Is An FMEA?
A tool used to evaluate - potential failure modes and their causes.
Prioritizes Potential Failures according to their Risk and drives actions to eliminate or reduce their likelihood of occurrence.
Provides a discipline/methodology for documenting this analysis for future use and continuous process improvement.
By its self, an FMEA is NOT a problem solver. It is used in combination with other problem solving tools. �The FMEA presents the opportunity but does not solve the problem.�
