Understanding Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)

Introduction Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a proactive and systematic methodology used to identify and evaluate potential failures in systems, products, or processes. By identifying failure modes early in the design or operational phase, FMEA helps organizations to mitigate risks, improve reliability, and ensure safety. Initially developed by the aerospace industry in the 1940s, FMEA is now widely applied across various sectors, including
