This table provides the initial input to the FMEA. When each of the output variables
(requirements) are not correct, that represents potential "EFFECTS". When each input variable is
not correct, that represents "Failure Modes".

1. List the Key Process Output Variables

2. Rate each variable on a 1-to-10 scale to importantance to the customer
3. List Key Process Input Variables
4. Rate each variables relationship to each output variable on a 1-to-10 scale
5. Select the top input variables to start the FMEA process; Determine how each selected input
varable can "go wrong" and place that in the Failure Mode column of the FMEA.
