Failure Modes and Effective Analysis of All-Terrain Vehicle and Go-Kart: A Review

The failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is used to identify the risks in a process, to quantify the effects that failure would have on customers, and to establish mitigation plans for high-risk items. The remainder of this paper outlines the use of the spreadsheet and explains how to complete each field. This paper indicates the current situation, use, and effectiveness of Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and its role in improving the standard and reliability of automotive products. The need for a formal methodology for identifying the product failure modes and effects is developed. Lastly, a set of case study of recommendations and opportunities for student research pertaining to SAE competitions where FMEA are presented with an ultimate goal of improving the FMEA process and ultimately the reliability of automotive products
