Use FMEA to rank PM tasks
Prioritize PM tasks by failure effect, occurrence, and detection rather than habit.
A four-hour PM window cannot hold 47 tasks. The team must decide what stays, changes, or moves. FMEA PM review: identify the failure mode, estimate severity, occurrence, and detection, then choose the control that reduces risk. Cutting the easiest or oldest PM tasks first may remove work that catches severe hidden failures. FMEA risk lens Failure mode What specific failure does this task control?
