The use of risk assessment is a growing trend within the
pharmaceutical industry. One such analytical method for performing
risk assessment is FMEA (Failure Mode Effective Analysis). Risk
Management is a process of identifying hazards associated with a
product or processes, estimating and evaluating the risks associated,
controlling these risks, and monitoring the effectiveness of the control.
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a method (first developed
for systems engineering) that examines potential failures in products or
processes. It can be used to evaluate risk management priorities for
mitigating known threat vulnerabilities. This article aims to provide
detailed study of the risk assessment by using FMEA tool. By this tool
severity (S), Probability/Occurrence (P), Detectability (D) numbering
for each failure mode was given, RPN can calculate and accordingly the risk level can be
classified (Low, Medium, High level). High and medium level risks having potential impact
on product quality. low risks are not likely to affect the overall process very much.
