Editorial Review:
Based on requirements established by the big-three automakers, The Basics of FMEA introduces work teams to this valuable tool. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) helps prevent failures, defects, and errors, because the tool identifies special causes of variation before they occur. This is valuable in any quality control or continuous improvement program and the reason that the automotive industry's QS-9000 standard requires their use. But FMEA is a valuable tool for any industry in which prevention is important. The process establishes a systematic method for determining causes and creates a common language for FMEA teams - a method easily transferred to other industries.

Review of : The Basics of FMEA  2007-05-10
I have used the FMEA tool prior to reading this book, so now it serves as a great reference handbook. It is just the right size, and does a great job providing instruction in how to use and understand this tool. Grab this one, you won't be disappointed.
Great Basics Book 2007-02-18
This is an excellent book to get you and your team rolling on FMEA's and their application. I have been doing FMEA's for many years and found this book to be a great starter for my current team that has little or no experience writing FMEA's.
Excellent Quick Reference Guide for FMEA 2006-11-11
A very useful reference guide for Failure Modes and Effects Analysis. All of the basics are covered along with examples of implementation. Simple step-by-step instructions are listed to aid in the training of FMEA techniques. The authors also mention applying FMEA to non-traditional functions such as Accounting/Finance, Software Design, Marketing, Human Resources, and Purchasing. Highly recommended.
Basic, Yet Useful 2006-09-21
This isn't really a textbook on FMEA, it is more akin to a Quick Reference Handbook (QRH). It is tailored for beginners and is fairly general, yet I did find it useful, especially to introduce colleagues to FMEA. The book first explains the basic premises behind FMEA with a bit of history (and the relation of FMEA to ISO 9000 and QS-9000) then outlines the general methodology of FMEA in a no-frills manner.
I thought one of the things the book did best was explaining the derivation of the Risk Priority Number (RPN) and the different issues associated with altering the different components of the RPN (severity, occurrence, and detection) in an effort to mitigate the risk of a certain failure. Likewise I appreciated that the book explained the methodology of applying FMEA to not only physical products, but also processes.
The book is very short (75 pages), and can be read in about half an hour. It is not comprehensive (nor does it claim to be) but it is a good pocket reference, and is a good way to introduce FMEA as a concept.
Useful starter  2005-11-09
Book info: I read the 1st edition that was published in 1996.
Pre required knowledge or literature: None
General: The book is easy to read and does not keep repeating itself, but how could it; the book is in pocketsize and only has 75 pages.
Book content:
For a person new to FMEA, this book will be a good starter. For more advanced users, the book will disappoint. If you look in perspective; there is a lot of introduction (15%); examples / case study (16%) and appendix (21%); what makes the content on FMEA a bit short, but you will still get the big picture. And for only USD 6,-- the price / quality ratio seems reasonable to me.
