Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)

Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is an analytical process that builds on Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) by adding a layer of criticality assessment. This involves evaluating the potential impact of different failure modes to prioritize those that pose the greatest risk to operational safety and reliability. FMECA helps organizations focus their maintenance efforts on mitigating the most critical risks.
