Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FMEA stands for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. It is a proactive approach to identifying possible failures and their effects on a process or system. The process involves answering questions like identifying the steps in the process (A), determining what could go wrong (C), understanding why the failure might happen (D), and identifying the consequences of the failure (E). However, FMEA is not about assigning blame, so the question of who is at fault (B) is not part of the approach.
