Failure Mode and Effects Analysis

Majorly, FMEA is implemented during the ‘Analyze’ phase of the Six Sigma DMAIC cycle.

It helps project teams to identify product features and process tasks that are prone to failure.

Project teams apply FMEA in a series of steps:

– Compile a failure list for each     and every step. – Measure failure impacts. – Determine failure rates. – Establish probability of      discovering errors.

When to apply FMEA?

– When a module is being designed     or redesigned following a quality     function development. – When an existing module is being     applied in a new eco-system. – Before the development of control     plans for a new or modified     process. – When planning improvement     goals for an existing module. – When assessing a failure in an     existing module. – To periodically assess a module.

FMEA should be used:

FMEA Modules :
