Abstract

The proper using of FMEA method is proven to reduce the cycle of warranty costs and will certainly cost less to prevent than to fix the problems that have already occurred. FMEA also was suitable for assessing risk in information technology or systems aspect. Several studies criticized the FMEA limitation or weakness of using this method. The purpose of this paper is to provide a resume and critical analysis of previous research that discussed the development and limitation of FMEA. A systematic literature review methodology was conducted in order to review FMEA. As a result, 32 papers were obtained in the selection stage according to the criteria used and review based on quality content. Data collection and identification stage was carried out by the selected papers for further analysis and synthesis. The limitation FMEA was due to the subjectivity and caused inconsistent results. This paper provided the critical analysis about the point of weakness FMEA based on document FMEA, and also limitation FMEA based on risk management process. There were eight research questions that could be considered from the results. By conducting a literature review of the development and trending of FMEA research, it provided new research opportunities to proved the FMEA issues reviewed in this paper.
