FMEA EXAM QUESTIONS WITH 100%
VERIFIED ANSWERS
Failure - ANSWER The loss of an intended function of a device under stated
conditions.(Oops, it broke! or Oops, it ain't right!)
Failure Mode - ANSWER How a failure is observed. (Hey, this dang this is
cracked!)
Failure Cause - ANSWER The underlying cause(s). (Darn, this machine is
shaking like nothing else!)
Failure Effect - ANSWER Immediate consequences of a failure. (Oh Man,
We're behind in production now!)
Indenture Levels - ANSWER Quantitatively rates item (product) complexity. 1
is worst. A designation which identifies an item's relative complexity as an
assembly or function. In a system, the first indenture level is the system.
Examples of lower indenture levels could be system segments (level 2), prime
items (level 3), subsystems (level 4), components (level 5), sub-assemblies or
circuit cards (level 6), and parts (level 7).
Local Effect - ANSWER Failure effect as it applies to item (product).
Next higher level effect - ANSWER Failure effect at the next higher indenture
level.
End effect - ANSWER Failure effect at the highest indenture level.
Severity - ANSWER Consequences of failure.
FMEA - ANSWER Asseses and prioritizes failures (defects,
nonconformances, problems, issues) in an order to be addressed.
