Definition of terms
Definition of terms
Cause : Causes are sources of variation which are associated with key
process inputs. Cause can be best defined as a deficiency which
results in a failure mode.
Definition of terms
Effect : Effect is the impact on the customer (both internal & external) if
the failure mode is not prevented or corrected.

• Severity (SEV) : Severity indicates how severe is the impact of the effect
on the customer.
• Risk priority number : This number is used to place priority to items for
better quality planning.
See next slides for specimen best to worst ratings on a 10 point scale.
FICCI CE
1 Customer will not at all observe Very remote possibility Sure that the potential failure
the adverse effect will be detected & prevented
before reaching the next
customer
2 Customer will experience Low failure with supporting Almost sure that the potential
slight discomfort documents failure will be detected before
reachig the next customer
3 Customer will experience Low failure without supporting Less chances that the
annoyance because of slight documents potential failure will reach the
degradation of performance next customer undetected
5 Customer is uncomfortable Moderate failure rate with Moderate chances that the
supporting documents potential failure will reach the
next customer
FICCI CE
6 Warranty repairs Modearate failure rate without Controls are not likely to detect
supporting documents or prevent the potential failure
from reaching the next
customer
7 High degree of customer High failure rate with supporting Less chances that the potential
dissatisfaction documents failure will be detected or
prevented before reaching
the next customer
8 Vey high degree of customer High failure rate with supporting Very less chances that the
dissatisfaction documents potential failure will be detected
or prevented before reaching
the next customer
9 Negative impact on the Failure is almost certain Existing controls will not detect
customer the potential failure
10 Negative impact on the Assured failure Existing controls will not detect
customer, people & society the potential failure
