How do you integrate FMEA with other Kaizen tools such as PDCA, 5S, or Gemba?
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a powerful tool for identifying and preventing potential problems in a process, product, or service. It helps you analyze the causes, effects, and severity of failures, and prioritize actions to reduce or eliminate them. But FMEA is not a standalone tool. It works best when integrated with other Kaizen tools that support continuous improvement and problem-solving. In this article, you will learn how to combine FMEA with three common Kaizen tools: PDCA, 5S, and Gemba.
