FMEA stands for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, which is a process used to systematically identify and evaluate potential failures that could occur in a design, product or process. FMEA is a proactive approach towards identifying risks, defects and other potential problems, and helps to prioritize and address these issues before they occur. It is commonly used in the automotive, aerospace, medical device and other industries as a tool for quality assurance and risk management. PDPC (Process Decision Program Chart), QFD (Quality Function Deployment), DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) and CPK (Process Capability Index) are other quality management tools, but they do not specifically address the identification of potential failures in a design.
