What Is FMEA?

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured methodology primarily designed to identify and address potential failures in a system. The core idea of FMEA is to anticipate and mitigate failures. It involves a detailed examination of the components of a system to pinpoint where and how failures might happen, what their causes could be, and the potential effects on the overall system​​​​. FMEA helps ensure that every potential point of failure is accounted for, thereby bolstering the integrity and robustness of designs.
