Description

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is the process of reviewing as many components,
assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their
causes and effects. The study revealed that the Risk Priority Number (RPN) was initially 450
and it has decreased to 90 after implementing all the actions in FMEA.
