Abstract
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is developing successfully in parallel with the progression of Industry 4.0. The relationship between FMEA and Industry 4.0 can be summarized in three main avenues: modifying FMEA to better handle the complexity of Industry 4.0; enhancing FMEA through Industry 4.0 data technology; and using FMEA to support analytics.
