Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) identifies potential product failures by scoring risks. Scores for each category are on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of risk. Which score is considered a trigger for corrective action?
  1. Any RPN value exceeding 80 requires a corrective action.
  2. Any RPN value exceeding 60 requires a corrective action.
  3. Any RPN value exceeding 40 requires a corrective action.
  4. Any RPN value exceeding 20 requires a corrective action.
Explanation
Answer: A - Any Risk Priority Number (RPN) value exceeding 80 requires a corrective action. The FMEA evaluates each process step and assigns a score on a scale of 1 to 10 for the following variables of severity, occurrence and detection. The Risk priority number is calculated as RPN= severity X occurrence X detection.
