• Key Concepts: 
  FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is an SAP QM component used to identify potential failure modes in a process, and the effects of those failures. An FMEA object is a specific item or process that is being analyzed for potential failure modes. It can be a product, a process, or a service. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The FMEA object is used to identify potential failure modes and their effects. The FMEA object is first identified and then the potential failure modes are identified and analyzed. The effects of each failure mode are then evaluated and the risk associated with each failure mode is determined. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an FMEA object, it is important to consider all possible failure modes and their effects. It is also important to consider the severity of each failure mode and its associated risk. Additionally, it is important to consider the cost of implementing corrective actions for each failure mode. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The FMEA object can be used in conjunction with other SAP QM components such as Control Plans, Inspection Plans, and Quality Notifications. Additionally, the FMEA object can be used in conjunction with other SAP components such as Plant Maintenance and Materials Management.
