Abstract
Abstract Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is potentially one of the most beneficial and productive tasks in a well structured reliability program. FMEA consists of examining the modes and causes of potential item failures and determining the product response to the failure. Steps can then be taken to change the design to eliminate the failure, mitigate its effects, or develop compensating provisions if the failure should occur. FMEA can be applied to hardware, software, material, and process related causes of failure. Functional, interface, and detailed FMEAs can be usefully employed throughout the design process from the concept stage to production and deployment.
