In carrying out new initiatives such as designing a system, product, process or new service, charging the existing work system as well as running another improvement initiative, there is a potential uncertaity and risk that what was planned. Therefore, it is very important to identify potential failure and causes of failure of the process / product that will be change/made, so that they can take precautions against potential failures that may occur.

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is an engineering technique used to define , identify and eliminate failures and potential failures, problem, error, since the stage of process design and/or service before reaching cstomers. Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is an effective tool widely used in industries (both service and manufacturing) to identify any potential failures of new initiatives (products making, system change and to compile counntermeasure activities, as well as prioritize actions that need to be handled.

To ensure the effectiveness of FMEA, FMEA documents should always be updated, reviewed regularly, reviewed by ranking (RPN) if there is change in product or process, or the existance of a new defect or potential new problem. By applying FMEA effcetively, it is expected that the likelihood of success of a new initiative grows, in order to minimize costs or other losses.
