Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, or FMEA, is a method used to pinpoint what might go wrong in a system and how those failures impact its function. This tool is particularly useful for Maintenance Significant Items (MSIs), helping teams understand the potential risks involved. While FMEA is often employed during the design phase of new equipment, its role in developing maintenance programs takes on a slightly different focus. By identifying possible failures and their effects, teams can enhance reliability and improve overall maintenance strategies.
