The document discusses the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) process, which is used to prevent and detect failures. The 6-step FMEA process involves: 1) identifying potential failure modes, 2) determining failure effects, 3) identifying potential causes, 4) listing current controls, 5) calculating a Risk Priority Number (RPN) based on severity, occurrence, and detection ratings, and 6) determining recommended actions to reduce high RPNs. The overall goal is to analyze a process and identify weaknesses so they can be addressed.
