SEV = How severe is effect on the customer?

OCC = How frequent is the cause likely to occur?
DET = How probable is detection of cause?
RPN = Risk priority number in order to rank concerns; calculated as SEV x OCC x DET

10

What are the existing controls that

either prevent the failure mode
from occurring or detect it should it
occur?

1000

What are the actions

for reducing the
occurrence of the
cause or for improving
its detection? You
should provide actions
on all high RPNs and
on severity ratings of 9
or 10.

In what ways can the step

What is the step?
go wrong?

What is the impact on the

customer if the failure mode is
not prevented or corrected?

10

What causes the step to go

wrong? (i.e., How could the
failure mode occur?)

fuel

empty tank

unable to reach the

destination / penality / time
loss

fuel pump

mechanical failure

unable to reach the

destination / penality / time
loss

battey

corroded

starter motor

mechanical failure

Who is responsible for

the recommended
action? What date
should it be completed
by?

What were the actions

implemented? Include
completion month/year
(then recalculate resulting
RPN).
