The best quality teams don’t wait for problems, they design them out!
One of our favorite methodologies to achieve this is the use of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
FMEA is a systematic approach to identifying and evaluating potential failures in a product or process. By analyzing the possible failure modes, their causes, and effects, our teams can prioritize and implement corrective actions to reduce or eliminate risks.
It offers several key benefits that make it a valuable tool - one of its primary advantages being proactive risk management, as it enables teams to anticipate and prevent potential failures before they occur, rather than reacting to issues after the fact.
This forward-thinking approach contributes to improved reliability, as identifying and addressing possible failure points enhances the overall dependability of products or processes avoiding expensive rework, repairs, or product recalls.
