Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
FMEA is a systematic method of identifying and preventing product and process problems before they occur.
Ideally, FMEA is conducted during the product design or process development stages, but substantial benefits
can still be achieved by analysing existing products and processes. FMEA is one the five core tools in the ISO automotive
quality standard TS16949.
Design FMEA
Design FMEA is focussed on identifying potential design weaknesses that could lead to a product failing to
function as intended. The approach should start early in the design process with a comprehensive identification
of product functions and continues through the design process.
Process FMEA
While a very similar approach to DFMEA, Process FMEA is focussed on identifying potential process weaknesses
that could result in a failure to produce a product to specification. Again the approach should start early in
the development of a new process.
