Potential Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Templates

Download Free Potential Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Templates

1. Select the process FMEA team
2. Develop a process map and identify all process steps
3. List all the key process outputs to satisfy internal and external customer requirements
4. For each process step, list key process inputs
5. For the process define matrix relating product outputs to process variables
6. Rank the inputs
7. For each process input, list ways that it can vary (causes) and identify associated failure modes and effects
8. List all other causes (sources of variability) and associated FM'2 and effects
9. Assign severity, occurence and detection rating to each cause
10. Calculate the risk priority number (RPN) for each potential failure mode scenario
11. Determine recommended actions to reduce all RPNs
