Find one that has more than 5 steps in the recipe. The “[your favorite food]” in questions 2 and 3 below refer to the item you selected. (5 points)

2. Draw a risk severity matrix for “[your favorite food]” . Identify at least five activities (i.e. process steps) needed to bake or cook “[your favorite food]” .Then identify five associated risk events, one for each of the activities. Place the five associated risk events in the matrix. Refer to slides 7-11 and 7-12 in the lecture presentation for an example. (10 points)

3. Build an Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify problem areas to be addressed in cooking or baking “[your favorite food]”. (25 points)

· Identify at least five process step(s) in the recipe to analyze

· for each of at least five process step and associated risk event

· List the severity, occurrence, and detection

· Determine the Risk Priority Number (RPN)

· Which risks are you most worried about based on the RPN?

· Which risks are you least worried about based on the RPN?

Here are a few sample Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) with instructions. You may also use one from another source.
