A Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) is a structured approach to identifying and addressing potential problems that could arise during the production of a product or service. It is a proactive process used to identify and eliminate potential risks before they become actual problems. The goal of a PFMEA is to reduce the probability of a failure or defect occurring during the production process. The process involves a team of experts who analyze the process, identify potential failure modes, and evaluate the potential risks associated with each failure mode. The team then develops strategies to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with each failure mode. The strategies may include process redesign, additional quality control measures, or changes in materials or equipment. The PFMEA process is an important part of any quality management system, as it helps to ensure that products and services are produced to the highest quality standards.
