All FMEA Tools Workspace
We appreciate the willingness of individuals and organizations to share their FMEA Tool Reports with the IHI.org community. One of the best ways to accelerate improvement is to connect with others who are working on similar topics — in the spirit of "all teach, all learn."

Click on View Report to see the FMEA Tool of a specific organization or individual — including the detailed FMEA that outlines the steps in the process; the failure modes, causes, and effects for each step; and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each step as well as for the entire process. Reports are sorted by Process Category, then alphabetically by title within each Process Category, and only finalized FMEAs are listed.

Do you see an FMEA process that looks like yours? You can use it as the basis for creating your own FMEA!
