FMEA
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for identifying and evaluating potential failures in products or processes. It helps minimize risk and increase reliability. It systematically examines desired characteristics, possible failures, and ways to eliminate them.
Effort: large Difficulty: medium Effectiveness: long
You can apply the FMEA approach alone in the planning and development phase and during regular reviews, but collaboration between experts from different areas can be very helpful.
💡 Tip from practice: An interdisciplinary team provides you with diverse expertise and perspectives.
