Analysis (FMEA)
Process Steps:
1: Identify modes of failure (e.g.: car wont stop)
2: Identify consequences & related systems for
each mode
3: Rate the Severity (S) of each effect
4: Identify potential root causes for each failure
mode
5: Rate the Probability of Occurrence (O) of each
root cause
6: Identify process controls and indicators (e.g.:
brake squeal)
7: Rate Detectability (D) of each mode/root cause
8: Calculate riskOhio
priority
(S*O*D) and criticality 2
