In reply to M Dee. Mike, great question. In reality, you are never finished. The FMEA matures with the process. When the process changes and experiences new failure modes, then the FMEA is updated. In the short term for the a LSS Project, the FMEA is closed when the Revised RPN's are below what the company sets as a max RPN.

One question that always comes up, how to quantify the requirements for closure of an FMEA? Or more to the point, what is or are the criteria used for closure?

I think this is a very good platform to upgrade our knowledge or to be a master in this field. I could prepare a FMEA without any ones help after reading this article.

lot of thanks to Kevin..
