A hazard identification technique in which all known failure modes of components or features of a system are considered in turn and undesired outcomes are noted.

provide an analytical approach, when dealing with potential failure modes and their associated causes.

analytical methods used to identify potential weaknesses. FMEA is mainly employed in the design and development of new products and processes.

A procedure by which each potential failure mode in a system is analyzed to determine its cause and the effects thereof, on the overall system, and to classify each potential failure mode according to [..]

Analysis tool to Identify Failure modes, assign priorities to each failure mode based on cost and occurrences.

A procedure by which each potential failure mode is a system is Analyzed to determine the results to effects thereof on the system and to classify each potential failure mode according to its severity [..]

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a method for failure analysis. It developed in the middle of the 20th century to examine issues with military IT.

Action to prevent defects from occurring. Preventive actions are assigned to causes.

Multilingual collection of questions that are answered during the execution of a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). A question list can be structured hierarchically.

List of FMEA components (question lists, FMEAs) that you can use as a template when creating a component. The template list provides convenient and rapid access to the component templates that you nee [..]

All lower-level elements that are created for a list using the hierarchy profile. This can be a function list, higher-level element list, lower-level element list, or a question list.

Action to identify possible defects before the product is delivered to customers. Detection actions refer to defect causes. The detection actions are assigned to causes that can trigger the defect. Yo [..]

An analytical method for locating and preventing possible defects and weak points in products and processes early on. This method is implemented in Quality Management as a preventive.

Contains all of the defined functions, prerequisites, characteristics, defects, causes, and effects for an object from a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).

Contains all system elements that the FMEA object is used in, or contains all process steps that are executed subsequently. The higher-level element list contains all elements whose functions depend o [..]

Contains all system elements that the FMEA object is composed of, or contains all process steps that precede the FMEA object. The lower-level element list contains all elements on whose functions the [..]

Collective name for business objects that are independent parts of the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). In the context of the FMEA, the following objects are considered to be FMEA components:

Object that a FMEA refers to, for example, a material or inspection plan.

User-specific lists of components for the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA components) that enable quick access to the components that the user needs for their daily work.
