Potential Failure Mode & Effects Analysis FMEA Reference Manual (4th Edition) (Potential Failure Mode & Effects Analysis FMEA Reference Manual (4th Edition)) by AIAG (2008-05-04)

This manual introduces Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and gives general guidance in the application of the technique. An FMEA is a systemized group of activities intended to: Recognize and evaluate the potential failure modes of a product/process and the associated effects on the customer. Identify actions that can eliminate or reduce the chance of the potential failure modes from occuring. Document the process. This reference manual retains the presentation of the FMEA preparation instructions to both Design and Process FMEAs.
