Expertise: Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA)

FMEA is one of the tools that allow design engineers to “get in front” of bad situations.  We imagine unfortunate scenarios, then ask:

1. How likely is it to happen?
2. How bad would it be if it did happen?
3. How difficult is it, now, to make sure it doesn’t happen?

These things are quantified, weighted, and combined in a mathematical equation to determine what gets the most attention from the engineering team.

Porticos will perform FMEA addressing both design opportunities (D/FMEA) and manufacturing or process concerns (P/FMEA). Our clients frequently participate in these events with us.
