"Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a or service." [3]. For failure analysis in design stage, Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) methodology of FMEA is used. Thus, DFMEA is applied on the project and failure analysis is made. Risk Priority

The FMECA is composed of two separate analyses, the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and the Criticality Analysis (CA). The FMEA analyzes different failure modes and their effects on the system while the CA classifies or prioritizes their level of importance based on failure rate and severity of the effect of failure.

Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) aims to identify the modes in which a product, service or process can fail and hence estimate the risk associated with the specific failure causes. Knowing the failure causes we can prioritize the actions to reduce risk of failure and make current control plan (process). Advantages of FMEA are:
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is a method designed to: Identify and fully understand potential failure modes and their causes, and the effects of failure on the system or end users, for a given product or process.
