Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is a systematic methodology for identifying potential equipment failures, analyzing their consequences, and prioritizing corrective actions based on risk severity. Practitioners apply FMEA by examining each component or process step, documenting how it could fail, what effects those failures would cause, and assigning risk priority numbers to guide maintenance planning. Organizations use FMEA to prevent equipment breakdowns, reduce unplanned downtime, and allocate maintenance resources to the highest impact failure risks.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) sits under Preventive and Predictive Maintenance in the Maintenance, Repair, and Facility Services domain of the Luminid skills catalogue.
