- Identification of potential failures and their effects
- Ranking of factors (severity, frequency of occurrence, detectability of the potential failures)
- Identification results of actions taken to reduce or eliminate risk
- The FMEA assists in the identification of critical items as well as key design and process characteristics, helps prioritize action plans for mitigating risk, and serves as a repository for lessons learned.
