fejlrisiko

Fejlrisiko is a term used in risk management and quality assurance to describe the potential for errors to occur in a process, product, system or decision, and the possible consequences. It is commonly expressed as the likelihood of an error plus the severity of its impact, and is used to assess and manage risks across organizations and industries.

Several factors can influence fejlrisiko, including design complexity, human factors, unclear or changing requirements, communication gaps, inadequate interfaces between components, insufficient training, and environmental conditions. Fejlrisiko can arise at any stage of a life cycle, from planning and development to production, operation and maintenance. A high fejlrisiko increases the chances of errors, but does not guarantee them.

Assessment and mitigation: Risk assessment methods such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), fault tree analysis, hazard analysis and risk matrices are used to identify critical error modes and their causes. Risks are typically evaluated as probability of occurrence times consequence. Mitigation strategies include design simplification, redundancy, error-proofing (poka-yoke), automation, rigorous testing, clear procedures, checklists, training, and continuous improvement. Residual fejlrisiko is the level of risk remaining after controls are applied.

Applications: Fejlrisiko is used in manufacturing, software development, aviation, healthcare, finance and other sectors to prioritize improvement work, allocate resources, and set safety or quality targets. It is closely related to quality assurance, safety engineering, and reliability engineering, and is often tracked in risk registers and project plans.
