Design FMEA is a structured approach
that ensures potential failure modes and
their associated causes have been
considered and addressed in the product
design. It identifies design functions,
failure modes and their effects on the
customer with corresponding severity
ranking / danger of the effect.
Benefits of attending
The Design FMEA procedure is a highly effective way to
evaluate design of the products. It is as valuable for
revealing areas needing improvement as it is for guiding
the development of new designs.
• Help Identifying potential failure modes of the
product ranked according to their effect on the
customer; establishes a priority system for design
improvement and development testing while still in
the design phase
• It increases the probability that potential failure
modes and their effects on the system/product have
been considered.
• Provides an open issue format for recommending
and tracking risk-reduction actions.
• It aids in analyzing field concerns, design changes
and in developing advanced designs.
• It helps to standardize ranks to the potential failure
modes according to their effect on the customer, thus
help in prioritizing improvements.
One of the most critical benefits, is that it specifies
certain activities that will certainly help to prioritize the
design failures of a product.
