Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Abstract

In general, despite high quality control exerted, any product may have inherent weaknesses resulting in their failure. Instead of analyzing why the failures have occurred as a postmortem, we should always anticipate such failures and provide for their corrective action during the design stage itself. This is the principle behind failure modes and effects analysis and this chapter details several aspects, including the principles and procedures for this essential TQM tool.
