A)Any RPN value exceeding 80 requires a corrective action.
B)Any RPN value exceeding 60 requires a corrective action.
C)Any RPN value exceeding 40 requires a corrective action.
D)Any RPN value exceeding 20 requires a corrective action.

Any Risk Priority Number (RPN) value exceeding 80 requires a corrective action. The FMEA evaluates each process step and assigns a score on a scale of 1 to 10 for the following variables of severity, occurrence and detection. The Risk priority number is calculated as RPN= severity X occurrence X detection.
