Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic, proactive method for evaluating a process to identify where and how it might fail and to assess the relative impact of different failures, in order to identify the parts of the process that are most in need of change. It includes analyzing potential failures in products or processes, including the behavior of people, and their potential effects on performance and safety.
