Topics

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was developed in the 1960s as a safety measure for a successful mission to land on the moon.
Over time, many industries have adopted and developed the benefits of this systematic creativity technique for finding possible faults in complex systems and assessing their impact on the overall system.
Especially in the automotive industry, this method has established itself as a core tool for the early elimination of potential risks to life and limb of vehicle users. Today, this method is indispensable proof of hazard prevention in the sense of the Product Safety Act and an economical method for prioritizing resources to major defects with serious effects rather than those with minor effects.
