A failure mode and effect analysis was performed
A failure mode and effect analysis was performed on a product that will be produced by an equipment company. The analysis resulted in the identification of eight possible failure modes. For each mode an assessment was made of the occurrence frequency, potential effects, severity, and difficulty of detection. These assessments are listed in the table below. The table lists ranking numbers for occurrence, severity, and detection. Determine using your knowledge of FMEA: (a) Detail which failure mode is the most important to analyze and then detail possible corrective actions to avoid it? 3 Marks (b) Develop a list of failure modes according to risk priority for the example. 1 Mark (c)Which failure mode(s) are indicated to be unimportant according to the analysis? 1 Mark Severity 10 2 Detec 7 9 7 Failure mode Electric shock Casing fracture Finger pinch Motor failure Transmission failure Mechanism binding Sharp edges on casing Premature actuation Occurrence 2 1 3 1 2 8 9 Potential effects Potential death to user Inability to use Loss of fingers Inability to use Inability to use Reduced utility Injuries to user Injuries to user 8 7 900 a 6 aa 00 a 6 8 4 6 10 3 7
