Failure Modes & Effects Analysis
FMEA is a technique used to identify,prioritize, and eliminate potential failuresfrom the system, design or process beforethey reach the customer
– Omdahl, 1988
FMEA is a risk management tool used onProducts (designs) and Processes
S. Kmenta 1/22/2002 3 of 32
Three Phases of FMEA
Phase Question Output
Identify • What can go wrong? Failure DescriptionsCauses → Failure Modes →
EffectsAnalyze • How likely is a failure?
• What are theconsequences?
Risk Priority Number (RPN = Occurrence × Severity
× Detection)Act • What can be done?
• How can we eliminate thecause?
• How can we reduce theseverity?
• Design solutions,• test plans,• manufacturing changes,• error proofing, etc.

History of FMEA• First used in the 1960’s in the Aerospace industry during the
Apollo missions• In 1974, the Navy developed FMEA Procedure Mil-Std-1629• In the early 1980’s, troubled US automotive companies began
to incorporate FMEA into their product development process• Mil-Std 1629A is the most widely used FMEA procedure
FMEA and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) havebeen around for many years

Criticisms of FMEA
• FMEA often misses key failures (Bednarz et al., 1988)
• FMEA performed too late does not affect keyproduct/process decisions (McKinney, 1991)
• The FMEA Process is tedious (Ormsby et al., 1992)
• The Risk Priority Number is not a good measure ofRisk (Gilchrist, 1993: Harpster 1999)
Let’s discuss the RPN as a measure of RiskLet’s discuss the RPN as a measure of Risk
S. Kmenta 1/22/2002 6 of 32
The Risk Priority Number• The RPN is used prioritize potential failures
RPN = (Occurrence) x (Severity) x(Detection)
• Occurrence (O): How likely is the cause and failure modeto occur?
• Severity (S): How serious is the impact of the end effect?
• Detection (D): How difficult is the cause and failure modeto detect..?
O, S, and D are rated on a 1 to 10 scaleO, S, and D are rated on a 1 to 10 scale

Criticisms of Detection• “Detection” has many definitions
• Most definitions are confusing since they address:– design review process (an organizational issue)
– manufacturing inspection (a QC issue)
– the diagnosibility of a failure (a Severity issue)
• High cost (time), for low benefit
• Some standards ignore Detection (SAE J1739)
Our ultimate interest: How likely is the failure tooccur?
S. Kmenta 1/22/2002 10 of 32
No Consistent Definition of Terms
• Definitions for O, S, D depend on FMEA standard
• O, S, D and RPN can have different meanings foreach FMEA
• Sharing numbers between companies and groups isvery difficult
RPN number has no clear “meaning”RPN number has no clear “meaning”
S. Kmenta 1/22/2002 11 of 32
O, S, D use Ordinal Scales
• Used to rank items along a single dimension (e.g. hotels)
• Ordinal scales preserve transitivity (rank-order)
• Magnitudes of Ordinal scales are “not meaningful”
– 8 is not twice as much as 4
• RPN is the product three ordinal indices
• But multiplication of ordinal indices is not “valid”, sincethe product does not preserve rank-order
S. Kmenta 1/22/2002 12 of 32
What is Risk ?• Possibility of incurring damage (Hauptmanns & Werner, 1991)
• Exposure to chance of injury or loss (Morgan & Henrion, 1988)
• Possibility of loss or injury (Webster’s Dictionary, 1998)
• Probability is a universal measure of chance
• Cost is an accepted measure of loss
• Most common measure of risk is “Expected Cost”
Elements of risk: “chance” and “loss”Elements of risk: “chance” and “loss”
Expected Cost = (probability) × (cost)Expected Cost = (probability) × (cost)

Conventional Failure Mode Representation
• Sometimes failure mode is a cause, sometimes an effect… → Confusing
• Conventional FMEA do not always differentiate between“failure modes” with different outcomes– Stage of detection is not specified...– Risk estimates are grouped & mitigation strategies are unclear
Potential Failure ModeThe manner in which a component, subsystem, or systemcould potentially fail to meet the design intent. Thepotential failure mode could also be the cause of apotential failure mode in a higher level subsystem, orsystem, or the effect of one lower level effect. (AIAG)
S. Kmenta 1/22/2002 21 of 32
Failure Scenarios• A failure scenario is an undesired cause-effect chain of events• The use of failure scenarios helps with failure representation
and risk evaluation

Failure Scenarios• Scenarios have different probabilities and consequences

Scenario 1: probability 1, consequence 1

Deployment of Expected Cost in FMEA• Relate ranges of probability and cost to a general scale
Probability from toVL 0 10e-5L 10e-5 0.001M 0.001 0.01H 0.01 0.1
VH 0.1 1
Cost from toVL 0 50L 50 500M 500 5,000H 5,000 50,000
VH >50,000 -
Once tables & ranges are defined, one can use:(estimated probability) × (estimated cost)
Example:
Prob. = LowCost = Medium
= (10e-5 + 0.001) × ($500 + $5000) 2 2= $1.39
Example:
Prob. = LowCost = Medium
= (10e-5 + 0.001) × ($500 + $5000) 2 2= $1.39
S. Kmenta 1/22/2002 29 of 32
Another Expected Cost Strategy• Estimate probability range (low, nominal, high)
• Estimate failure cost (low, nominal, high)
• Calculate expected cost distribution
• Rank risks according to mean expected cost

RPN is the industry standard forFMEA
Challenges
• Cost & probability data is difficult to estimate w/o data
• There is some aversion to using probability and costestimates
• 1-10 scales for Occurrence, Detection, & Severity isfamiliar and “quick”
• Many FMEA standards and software use RPN
S. Kmenta 1/22/2002 31 of 32
Using Expected cost in scenario-based FMEApresents a more useful representation &
evaluation of “risk”
Using Expected cost in scenario-based FMEApresents a more useful representation &
evaluation of “risk”
Advantages• Analyze Failure Modes by Life-cycle “Scenarios”
– Clarifies the cause / end-effect relationship– Takes the ambiguous “Detection” out of the picture
• Expected cost is an accepted measure of risk– Cost and probability terms are consistent– Expected cost ties FMEA to $$
• Engineers can compare failure costs to solution cost tominimize life cycle costs– Reliability vs. serviceability vs. better diagnostics
