Service FMEA


Definition and Purpose

Service FMEA helps eliminate product failures due to improper installation, operation, maintenance and repair. For example, premature wear on an automobile tire is a potential failure mode which occurs if the tire is not maintained at the correct pressure. A service FMEA is a structured procedure for identifying and preventing service-related product failures, i.e., failures due to improper installation, operation, maintenance, or repair. For example, excessive wear on an automobile tire that is not maintained at the proper pressure.
The purpose of a service FMEA is to ensure that:

A service FMEA uses the same form as the design FMEA. The service FMEA is initiated and drafted by a service engineer.
