FMEA

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) means a systematic analysis of systems and sub-systems to a level of detail that identifies all potential failure modes down to the appropriate sub-system level and their consequences.

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

A hazard identification technique in which known failure modes of components or features of a system are considered and undesired outcomes are noted.  FMEA is related to Fault Tree and Event Tree Analyses.
