Unless it is specifically stated by a customer, FMEA would not be mandatory, but it is an example of using risk management techniques, more likely to be found in the likes of automotive and aerospace companies.
Given the fact that you are a small company, you probably consider and manage risk with every order, you might have to make it more visible to others how you do that e.g. when reviewing enquiries and orders, when selecting where to buy from and which subcontractors to use.
Remember, it refers to 'risk based thinking', not a full blown risk management process. Please keep us informed on how you get on, it helps to get feedback so we know how CB's are interpreting this.
