FMEA Work Sheet

Engineers Screw This Up! You MUST detect the failure BEFORE it blows your legs off!
Occurrence Ranking Index (Frequency for customer?): Severity Ranking Index (Think of the customer's problem?) Detection Ranking Index (Can Customer See Defect?)
Rank Criteria Rank Criteria Rank Criteria
1 Remote chance for failure 1 Undetectable effect on system 1 Almost certain detection of failure mode
2 Low failure rate based on 2 Low severity impact because failure 2 Very high likelihood of detecting failure mode
3 previous designs with low failures 3 will cause slight customer annoyance 3 High likelihood of detecting failure mode
4 Moderate failure rates based on similar 4 Moderate severity with some customer 4 Moderately high likelihood of detecting failure mode
5 designs which have some occasional 5 dissatisfaction and with performance 5 Moderate likelihood of detecting failure mode
6 failures but not in major proportions 6 loss which is noticable by customer 6 Low likelihood of detecting failure mode
7 High failure rates based on similar 7 High severity with high degree of customer 7 Very low likelihood of detecting failure mode
8 designs which have been troublesome. 8 dissatisfaction 8 Remote likelihood of detecting failure mode
9 Very high failure rates and the failures 9 Very severe problem involving potential 9 Very remote likelihood of detecting failure mode
10 will be major occurrences. 10 safety problem or major non-conformity 10 Can not detect failure mode
