Generic Severity Rating Scale

Every organization has a different definition of what the most serious failure means based on the products the company produces. That is why one size does not fit all when it comes to the rating scales used for FMEAs. This generic Severity Rating Scale can be used as a starting point to develop customized rating scales for your specific organization. A customized rating scale will be more meaningful to your FMEA team members which means that the ratings assigned to potential failures will be more accurate.
