Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a Six Sigma tool used to identify, evaluate, and prioritize potential failures in a process, product, or system. It involves systematically listing all possible failure modes, determining their causes and effects, and scoring them based on severity, occurrence, and detectability. By calculating the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each failure mode, FMEA helps organizations focus on the most critical issues. This proactive approach aids in preventing defects, enhancing reliability, and improving quality. FMEA supports Six Sigma goals by ensuring that potential problems are addressed before they occur, leading to more robust and efficient processes.
