FMECA is a method to identify and analyse the possible failure modes in a system. It also identifies the effects of these failures on the system and how to prevent them.
The MECA, in simple terms, is a method for identifying, prioritising, and eliminating system failures (at the process or design level). FMECA differs from FMECA Design or FMECA Process in that the first refers to the product or system, while the second focuses on problems arising from maintenance, manufacture, or operation.
FMECA was originally called FMEA (or AMFE) at first. C is a new parameter that is being used more often. It indicates the severity or seriousness of various failures and allows you to prioritize them.
FMEA, which stands for Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), is an enhanced version of FMEA which incorporates criticality analyses into the entire process. FMEA, in its basic form, is qualitative and only examines "what-if" scenarios. We add the criticality component to FMEA, which allows us to perform quantitative measurements. This allows us to assign a criticality rating for identified failure modes.
This allows us to estimate the risk level accurately and can help us prioritize corrective actions. This is a sample of the FMECA example table.

The following are the most common applications of FMECA:
FMECA's (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis) methodology are designed to increase knowledge about risk and prevent failure. These are the tangible benefits of FMECA:
Design and Development Benefits
Operation Benefits
Cost Benefits
These are the basic steps to perform a Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis.
A typical FMEA includes assessing the risk associated with the potential problems identified during the analysis. Next, we will discuss the two most popular methods, Risk Priority Numbers (or Criticality Analysis)
To use the Risk Priority Number method (RPN), which is used to assess risk, the team must:
Calculate the RPN using the product of three ratings:
RPN = Severity, Occurrence, Detection
The RPN can be used to analyse and prioritize issues for corrective actions.
There are two types: qualitative and quantitative criticality analysis. The analysis team must be qualified to use quantitative criticality analysis.
Mode Criticism = Mode Ratio of Unreliability x Item Unreliability x Probability of Loss.
SUM of Mode Criticisms = Item Criticality
FMECA analysis is a tool that can be used in many ways to meet many purposes. It can help improve the design of products and processes. This will result in increased reliability, higher quality, safety, customer satisfaction, and lower costs. It can be utilized to optimize maintenance programs for repairable systems or to subsidize to control programs or other quality assurance procedures. This tool provides information about failure modes and corrective actions that can be used to assist in future troubleshooting efforts and a training resource for engineers. An FMECA is also required to meet safety and quality standards.
