Unit 12: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
risk has been eliminated or mitigated to an acceptable level. The Failure Review Board must Notes
ensure that all high risk actions are successfully executed.
Task 9: Linkage to Other Processes
FMEAs can and should be linked to other important processes to leverage their effectiveness.
Task 10: Test and Field Failures
One of the common mistakes when implementing an FMEA process is to omit subsequent test
and field failures. If generic FMEAs are used, they can be updated with information from the
organization’s Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS). This is
invaluable when FMEA documents become input to future design programs. When feedback
from subsequent test and field failures is omitted from the FMEA process, future designs are at
risk for repeating past failure modes.
