There are three cases for applying an FMEA process: 1) New designs, technologies, or processes require a complete FMEA scope. 2) Modifications to existing designs or processes focus the FMEA on the changes, interactions, and field history. 3) Using existing designs or processes in new environments, locations, applications, or usage profiles focuses the FMEA on the impacts of these differences.

There are three basic cases for which FMEA process is to be applied, each with a different scope or focus:
Case 1: New designs, new technology, or new process.
The scope of the FMEA is the complete design, technology, or process.
Case 2: Modifications to existing design or process.
The scope of the FMEA should focus on the modification to design or process, possible interactions due to the modification, and field history. This can include changes in regulatory requirements.
Case 3: Use of an existing design or process in a new environment, location, application, or
usage profile. The scope of the FMEA should focus on the impact of the new environment, location, or application usage on the existing design or process (including duty cycle, regulatory requirements, etc.).
