What is FMECA Failure Modes Criticality Analysis?

Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a systematic methodology used to identify and evaluate potential failure modes within a system, product, or process. It assesses the effects of these failures on system performance and determines their criticality based on the severity and likelihood of occurrence. By prioritizing failure modes, FMECA helps organizations implement effective risk management strategies and improve reliability and safety. It is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing to enhance product design and operational processes.
