Failure Mode, Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA)

A Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis is an FMEA augmented by CA (Criticality Analysis) where CA is defined as a procedure by which each potential failure mode is ranked according to the combined influence of severity and probability of occurrence.

A true CA is quantitatively-based. Occasionally a qualitatively-based technique is employed using Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs).

HCRQ is equipped with Item FMEA/FMECA software.
