SCOPE OF WORK

pFMEA WORKSHEET

Instructions: For each process step, identify potential failure modes, potential effects, assign Severity (S), Occurrence (O), and Detection (D) ratings (1-10), and compute the Risk Priority Number (RPN = S × O × D). Record current controls, recommended actions, responsible party, target completion date, and verification status.

RPN Calculation Note: RPN (Risk Priority Number) is computed as Severity × Occurrence × Detection. Use this value to prioritize recommended actions. High RPNs require documented corrective or preventive actions and assignment of responsibility.
