Criticality Analysis - (PPT, 152KB) A FMEA example that covers a detailed look
at criticality analysis. This FMEA example uses a Mil-Std-1629 approach to
demonstrate calculating failure mode criticality and item criticality numbers.

Simple Flashlight FMEA - (XLS, 19KB) This is a sample FMEA output for a
simple flashlight. This uses a Mil-Std-1629A FMEA approach.

Simple Flashlight FMECA - (PDF, 11KB) This FMEA example combines the
FMEA and the Criticality Analysis, and provides a sample FMECA for our simple
flashlight. This uses a Mil-Std-1629A FMECA approach.

There are many different report formats used for FMEA. The next four links
contain sample report formats in an Excel format. It is always a good idea to work
with your customer early on, and get report formats approved before populating
them with large amounts of data.
