Free FMEA Template (Excel)
The simplified worksheet HolisticAM uses to introduce teams to failure mode and effects analysis. Direct download, no form. Download the TemplateWhat you get
This is a single Excel worksheet for capturing the core of an FMEA: the functions of your equipment, the ways each function can fail, the effects of each failure, and a simple ranking to sort what matters. We use it to introduce teams to the method before a facilitated study.
It is enough for a training exercise or a first pass on a small, non-critical system. It is not enough to set maintenance strategy for critical plant.

From worksheet to full FMECA
A template captures failure modes and effects. The decisions that matter come from criticality analysis: which failures carry real consequence for safety, production and cost, and what you will do about each one. For industrial assets that means a full FMECA, facilitated with the people who run and maintain the equipment, with the resulting strategy loaded into your CMMS so it drives the work your crews actually do.
If the spreadsheet has taken you as far as it can, see our FMECA consulting and facilitation, or read the definitive guide to how a full study works.
Want the method, not just the sheet?
Our FMEA/FMECA eBook explains how to run the analysis: preparation, team selection, ranking scales and the points where studies commonly go wrong.
