: A modern alternative that ranks risks as High, Medium, or Low based on specific combinations of scores, often favored over RPN for more nuanced decision-making.
: The underlying reason for the failure (e.g., incorrect algorithm, material weakness). Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
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 : A modern alternative that ranks risks as
: What the component or step is intended to do. the consequences of those failures
: The frequency or likelihood of the cause occurring.
: The impact of the failure on the end user or system (e.g., overheating, abnormal shutdown).
