Failure mode and effects Analysis, also called FMEA is a tool or method that
considers the severity of a Risk, the likelihood of occurrence for each Risk and the
ability to detect the Risk. Each of these Factors (severity, occurrence, and detection)
is rated on a scale of one to five and then they are multiplied together. The result
is a Risk Priority Number from 1 to 125 for each Risk. The higher the number, the
higher the need to remediate it. Typically, Risks over 30 require an action plan.
Severity Key: Loss Severity
5 = Certain Loss
4 = High Probability of Loss
3 = Noticeable Effect
2 = Minor Effect
1 = No Effect
Occurrence Key: Likelihood of Occurring
5 = Very High: Failure Almost Inevitable
4 = High: Repeated Failures
3 = Moderate: Occasional Failures
2 = Low: Relatively Few Failures
1 = Remote: Failure Unlikely
Detection Key: Ability to Detect
5 = Little to No Chance to Detect
4 = Very Low Chance to Detect
3 = Moderate Chance to Detect
2 = High Chance to Detect
1 = Almost Certain Detection
In a work Team of Subject Matter Experts, develop independent estimates of
Risk and then normalize them. You may achieve a consensus or you may end
up with a range of Risk values.
Act to Standardize the Risk Management Process Improvements
(TIQM Step P4.5).
Ensure that the Process is In Control and roll it out to all Risk Managers.
