PMFMEA
PMFMEA stands for Process Method Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. It is a systematic, proactive method for evaluating a process to identify potential failure modes and their causes and effects. The primary goal of PMFMEA is to prevent failures from occurring in the first place by understanding where and why a process might fail and then implementing actions to mitigate those risks. This contrasts with FMEA, which is typically applied to designs (DFMEA) or systems.
The PMFMEA process typically involves a cross-functional team that examines each step of a process. For each
Actions are then developed to reduce the RPN, focusing on eliminating causes, reducing the likelihood of occurrence,
