Risk scoring
Instantly recalculate severity, occurrence, detection, and RPN values as teams update action plans.
Online FMEA Tool for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
This Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) tool helps teams identify potential failure modes, assess severity, occurrence, and detection (SEV, OCC, DET), compute Risk Priority Numbers (RPN), and track corrective actions. Built for engineering, quality, and operations teams, the tool supports collaborative risk assessments, audit-ready records, and secure project persistence.
Action tracking
Own every corrective action with owners, target dates, and residual risk controls inside the workspace.

Who should use it
FMEA is used in pharmaceuticals (like Jamjoom Pharma), automotive, aerospace, medical devices, food production, and any industry where quality and safety matter. It's a core tool in the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology. The key benefits includes
Real-time RPN calculation and risk-level classification (High / Medium / Low).
Centralized project storage tied to authenticated user sessions.
Action ownership, due dates, and status tracking to close the loop on risk reduction.
Audit-ready exportable records and change history for compliance needs.
FMEA SCORING GUIDE - Severity / Occurrence / Detection
| SEVERITY (SEV) | OCCURRENCE (OCC) | DETECTION (DET) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Score | Rating | Description | Score | Rating | Description | Score | Rating | Description |
10 | Catastrophic | Failure causes injury, death, or major regulatory violation | 10 | Inevitable | ≥1 in 2 (very high probability of failure) | 10 | Absolutely No | No control; defect reaches customer |
9 | Extremely High | Major system failure - product rendered inoperable | 9 | Almost Certain | 1 in 3 | 9 | Very Remote | Control unlikely to detect - no current test |
8 | Very High | Loss of primary function - customer very dissatisfied | 8 | Very High | 1 in 8 | 8 | Remote | Control has a poor chance of detecting failure |
7 | High | Reduced functionality; customer dissatisfied | 7 | High | 1 in 20 | 7 | Very Low | Weak control - visual inspection only |
6 | Moderate-High | Non-conformance; some rework required | 6 | Moderate-High | 1 in 80 | 6 | Low | Some chance - post-process verification |
5 | Moderate | Reduced performance; customer aware of issue | 5 | Moderate | 1 in 400 | 5 | Moderate | Moderate chance - process monitoring applied |
4 | Low-Moderate | Minor performance reduction; some customers notice | 4 | Occasional | 1 in 2,000 | 4 | Moderate-High | Reasonably good detection - SPC in use |
3 | Low | Minor defect; most customers do not notice | 3 | Low | 1 in 15,000 | 3 | High | High chance - error proofing / automated check |
2 | Very Low | Very minor effect - barely perceptible | 2 | Very Low | 1 in 150,000 | 2 | Very High | Very high chance - 100% automated inspection |
1 | None | No discernible effect | 1 | Remote | < 1 in 1,500,000 | 1 | Almost Certain | Certain detection - mistake-proofing / poka-yoke |
Frequently Asked Questions About the FMEA Tool
Everything you need to know about FMEA Tool
What is an FMEA Tool?
An FMEA Tool is a structured risk assessment application that helps organizations identify potential failure modes, evaluate their effects, prioritize risks, and implement corrective actions. It simplifies the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis process by automatically calculating Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs) and maintaining audit-ready records.
How is the Risk Priority Number (RPN) calculated?
RPN is calculated using the formula: Severity × Occurrence × Detection. Each factor is typically scored on a scale from 1 to 10. A higher RPN indicates a greater risk and helps teams prioritize corrective and preventive actions.
Who should use this Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Tool?
This FMEA Tool is ideal for quality engineers, manufacturing professionals, product development teams, healthcare organizations, automotive companies, process owners, and compliance managers who need a systematic approach to risk management and continuous improvement.
Can I save and restore my FMEA projects?
Yes. The FMEA Tool allows authenticated users to securely save projects, risk assessments, corrective actions, and scoring data. Your information is automatically restored whenever you return to the workspace.
What are the benefits of using an online FMEA Tool?
An online FMEA Tool improves risk visibility, standardizes Failure Mode and Effects Analysis processes, automates RPN calculations, tracks corrective actions, enhances team collaboration, and provides audit-ready documentation for compliance and quality management requirements.
