PHA FMEA - Failure Mode Effect Analysis

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) Team

A failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) may be defined as a "systematic method of identifying and preventing process and product problems before they occur."
Healthcare HFMEAs focus on preventing defects, enhancing safety, increasing positive outcomes and increasing patient satisfaction.

The objective of the HFMEA is to look for all ways a process or product can fail. The question is "What Could happen?" not "What does happen?"
