FMEA and FMECA Information
Our goal is to provide useful resources for reliablity engineers, quality
engineers, design engineers, or anyone else who may be interested in
learning more about this analysis technique.
This site will provide you with a good introduction to Failure Mode, Effects,
and Criticality Analysis. Spend a few minutes looking around our site to find
out more about this analysis technique, the different types (Concept, Design,
and Process FMEA), some of the benefits that result from this type of
analysis, and much more.

Also, we have many detailed FMEA examples and helpful presentations,
books and reference guides, plus some good information on FMEA software.
For your convenience, we provide information on most of the major FMECA
software and FMEA tool vendors.

What is FMEA and FMECA?
So you may be wondering just what is an FMEA? Failure Mode and Effects
Analysis (FMEA) or FMECA is an analysis technique which facilitates the
identification of potential problems in the design or process by examining the
effects of lower level failures. Recommended actions or compensating
provisions are made to reduce the likelihood of the problem occurring, and
mitigate the risk, if in fact, it does occur ...

How Do You Perform an FMEA?
What exactly are the process steps involved in performing an FMEA or
FMECA? The assessment criteria and report outputs may vary, but the
technique is basically the same regardless which type of FMECA you are
performing. Either a bottom-up or top-down approach can be used. Here are
the steps involved in performing an FMEA ....

Types of FMEA or FMECA
Concept, Design, and Process FMEAs are probably the most common,
although there are many types and flavors of FMEA (Concept, Design,
Process, Hardware, Functional, Software, Interface, Healthcare, Machinery,
Environmental, etc…). Here are some details on some of the more common
ones ...

Benefits of FMEA
So, you have heard about this technique or your boss has told you to learn
more about FMEA, but you are still wondering how this can benefit your
company. There are many very important benefits that your company can
derive from using this approach or technique. Here, are just some of them ...

FMEA Software and Tools
If you have more than one or two circuit cards that you are analyzing, then I
would not recommend using a spreadsheet to do a FMEA / FMECA. Although it
may be tempting because you are probably already familiar with spreadsheets,
you need to consider long term costs. Don't skimp when it comes to FMEA
software ...

FMEA Examples and Templates
Examples, templates, presentations, papers, and standards can be a great
help when coming up to speed on this failure analysis technique. Here are
some good FMECA resources that should be helpful for you ...

FMEA Risk Priority Number (RPN)
This is a measure used when assessing risk to help identify critical failure
modes associated with your design or process. The RPN values range from 1
(absolute best) to 1000 (absolute worst). The FMEA RPN is commonly used in
the automotive industry and it is somewhat similar to the criticality numbers
used in Mil-Std-1629A ...
