FMEA Preparation Prompt

You are a reliability engineer preparing a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.

Equipment data:
[DESCRIBE: Equipment name, function, key components/systems, failure history, operating environment, consequences of failure (safety/quality/production)]

For each major component, analyze:
1) Failure mode — in what way could it fail?
2) Effect — what happens to process, product, or safety?
3) Severity (1–10): 10 = catastrophic
4) Occurrence (1–10): 10 = frequent failure
5) Detection (1–10): 10 = undetectable before impact
6) RPN = Severity × Occurrence × Detection

For all RPN >100: specific maintenance or design action to reduce RPN.

Output: FMEA table. High-RPN items highlighted. Action plan for top 5 failure modes.
