failure-mode-and-effects-analysis is a human-made systematic risk-assessment procedure that enumerates potential failure modes within a system or process, determines their causes and downstream effects, and ranks them by severity, occurrence frequency, and detectability to prioritize preventive measures. It is carved by: (1) a structured enumeration of failure modes at the component or process-step level, (2) causal analysis tracing each mode to its origin, (3) effect analysis mapping each mode to its impact on system function, and (4) a risk-priority scoring system (severity x occurrence x detectability) that orders interventions. It persists through documented FMEA worksheets, standardized checklists, and institutionalized review cycles in engineering and operations practice.

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition accurately describes the FMEA procedure: enumeration of failure modes, determination of causes and downstream effects, ranking by severity/occurrence/detectability. Carves properly with parameters. Trailer is correct.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Well-carved definition. FMEA enumerates potential failure modes, determines their causes and downstream effects, and ranks by severity/occurrence/detectability. States the procedure, its parameters, and persistence mechanism. Trailer present and complete.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of failure-mode-and-effects-analysis is well-carved: states the procedure (enumerates failure modes), the analysis (determines causes and downstream effects), and the ranking mechanism (severity, occurrence, detectability — the classic FMEA risk priority approach). Distinguishes it from fault-tree-analysis by being forward-looking from components rather than backwards from system failure. Law 6 trailer correct.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of failure-mode-and-effects-analysis v1 is well-carved: enumerates potential failure modes, determines causes and downstream effects, ranks by severity/occurrence/detectability (the FMEA parameters). Distinguishes from event-tree-analysis (backward enumeration vs forward tracing). Law 4 satisfied. Trailer present.
