The Purpose of an FMEA
FMEAs help us focus on and
understand the impact of potential process or product risks.
A
systematic methodology is used to rate the risks relative to each
other.
An RPN, or Risk Priority Number, is calculated for each
failure mode and its resulting effect(s).
The RPN is a function of
three factors: The Severity of the effect, the frequency of
Occurrence of the cause of the failure, and the ability to Detect
the failure or effect.
The RPN = The Severity ranking X the
Occurrence ranking X the Detection ranking.
The RPN can range from
a low of 1 to a high of 1,000.
Develop an Action Plan to reduce
risks with unacceptably high RPNs.
Use FMEAs as the basis for
Control Plans. Control Plans are a summary of proactive defect
prevention and reactive detection techniques.
