The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) form allows users to systematically identify and evaluate potential failures in design, manufacturing, assembly processes, or product and service delivery. It provides a structured workflow to assess failure risks by ranking Severity, Occurrence, and Detectability, allowing users to calculate and compare the initial Risk Priority Number (RPN) with the revised RPN after implementing mitigation measures.
The form enables organizations to document failure analysis, track improvements, and ensure compliance with industry standards. It also supports ongoing risk management by facilitating updates, approvals, and maintaining records for regulatory and operational traceability.
