What is DFMEA?

DFMEA stands for Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. It is a systematic process used by engineering teams to identify potential failures in a product design, assess the risks associated with those failures, and prioritize actions to mitigate or eliminate them before the product is released. DFMEA helps improve product reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction by anticipating design issues early in the development process. This analysis is an essential part of quality management in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
