Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a proactive risk assessment technique for examining all failure modes in a system, assessing their causes and effects, and eliminating or reducing the highest-risk failures by risk mitigation efforts. Over the last couple of decades, FMEA tool has been extensively used for safety and reliability analys
