Reduction of risk is the key
Recommended actions for each of the failure mode is important
Ensuring design requirements including reliability are achieved
Reviewing engineering drawings and specifications

Responsibility and time plan to complete recommended actions
should be recorded
At closure of every action, rating for severity, occurrence and
detection should be recorded
