1. Examples of planning and preparation objectives:

• Identify the project
• Define the scope
• Obtain a global view of the FMEA scope
• Prioritize systems
• Prioritize functions

2. Examples of risk analysis objectives:

• Identify the causes, modes and affects of failure for each function
• Determine the current controls
• Assign prevention controls to failure causes
• Assign detection controls to failure causes and modes
• Break down the failures by deduction from the function analysis

3. Examples of function analysis objectives:

• Obtain an overview of the functions of the product (process)
• Establish the function tree
• Associate requirements with functions
• Identify interfaces and interactions
• Identify the causes, modes and effects of failure for each function

4. Examples of optimization objectives:

• Assign prevention controls to the cause of failure
• Plan prevention and detection actions
• Appoint a person in charge
• Plan the completion date of the actions
• Assess the risk reduction
• Assign detection controls to failure causes and modes

5. The process is:

• Any support allowing the treatment of information
• An entity that provides a product
• Anyone who receives a product
• Activities that transform inputs into outputs
