This page shows the FMEA Tool Report created by a specific organization or individual — including (in a separate browser window) the detailed FMEA that outlines the steps in the process; the failure modes, causes, and effects for each step; and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each step, each associated failure mode, and the entire process. In addition, the graph tracks the RPN for the process over time to see if the changes you are making are leading to improvement.
Does this process look like yours? You can use it as the basis for creating your own FMEA!
