: The specific way a system or component fails to meet its intended function (e.g., fracture, electrical short).
A feature serves as a proactive risk management tool used to identify potential failure points in a design or process before they occur. It systematically evaluates what could go wrong, the consequences of those failures, and how to prioritize and mitigate them. Core Feature Components Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
: A standard mechanism to rate each failure mode on a scale of 1 to 10 based on: Severity (S) : How serious the consequences are. : The specific way a system or component
: The frequency or likelihood of the cause occurring. the consequences of those failures
: Tools to assign responsibility and deadlines for corrective actions aimed at reducing high-priority risks. Standard 7-Step Workflow
