{% translate 'FMEA introduction' %}
{% blocktranslate trimmed %} FMEA (failure mode and effective analysis) is a step-by-step approach for collecting knowledge about possible points of failure in a design, manufacturing process, product or service. {% endblocktranslate %}
{% blocktranslate trimmed %} Failure mode (FM) refers to the way in which something might break down and includes potential errors that may occur, especially errors that may affect a system. Effective analysis (EA) involves deciphering the consequences of those break downs by making sure that all failures can be detected, determining how frequently a failure might occur and identifying which potential failures should be prioritized. {% endblocktranslate %}
