Failure Mode and Effects Analysis - Uses of FMEA

Uses of FMEA

• Development of system requirements that minimize the likelihood of failures.
• Development of methods to design and test systems to ensure that the failures have been eliminated.
• Evaluation of the requirements of the customer to ensure that those do not give rise to potential failures.
• Identification of certain design characteristics that contribute to failures, and minimize or eliminate those effects.
• Tracking and managing potential risks in the design. This helps avoid the same failures in future projects.
• Ensuring that any failure that could occur will not injure the customer or seriously impact a system.
• To produce world class quality products
