Description: This book was originally published as "Murphy's Law Overruled" by Nicholas Humphries in 1994. At that time Nicholas explained that the book ... deals in a very practical manner with the subject of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis. FMEA has long been recognised as a powerful technique to improve quality, however in the past, the only assistance to those who need to use FMEA were instructions in filling out the form.

This left them in the dark as to how to analyse the product or the process. This book fills that gap by providing the background and the proven techniques needed by engineers and others to implement FMEA.
