FMEA Worksheet
| Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Worksheet | |||||
| Critical Element | Potential Failure Mode | Potential Failure Effects | Potential Causes | Current Controls | |
| What is the critical element or part? | In what ways does this go wrong (fail)? | What is the consequence on Performance? | What causes or reasons for the loss of performance? | What are the existing controls and procedures (inspection and test) that prevent loss of performance? | |
