Failure of components is unavoidable, the job therefore
is to predict them, prevent them where possible, plan for them, and build
in the ability to overcome failures.
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is a tool for
facilitating the process of predicting failures, planning preventive measures,
estimating the cost of the failure, and planning redundant systems or
system responses to failures.

Basics of FMEA
Dermott Mikulak Beauregard |
| Failure
mode and effects analyses (FMEAs) can actually help prevent failures,
defects, and errors, because FMEAs identify special causes of variation
before they occur. This is why the automotive industry's QS-9000
standard requires their use. But FMEAs are a valuable tool for any
industry in which defect prevention is important. The Basics of
FMEA explains failure mode and effects analysis simply and concisely,
discusses when to use FMEAs (e.g., during design, manufacturing,
etc.) and shows how to perform FMEAs step-by-step.
