For each process input (start with high value inputs), determine the ways in which the input can go wrong (failure mode)
2. For each failure mode, determine effects
Select a severity level for each effect
3. Identify potential causes of each failure mode
Select an occurrence level for each cause
4. List current controls for each cause
Select a detection level for each cause
5.Calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN)
6.Develop recommended actions, assign responsible persons, and take actions
Give priority to high RPNs
MUST look at severities rated a 10
7.Assign the predicted severity, occurrence, and detection levels and compare RPNs
