This paper aims to give a new growth perspective of failure modes and effects analysis that can be called ''Expected Costs of Failure Scenarios''. Traditional FMEA discipline has been used to evaluate failure effects in aerospace and automotive industry since '60 and today is applied to anticipate failure modes of products and services already in design session concerning different industry contexts. The evaluation of failure effects perceived by the customer through the common risk priority number does not offer certainty of success in giving priorities intervention on risk reduction due to its lack of perceiving the failure cost sustained by industry. If FMEA focuses on failure costs of failure scenarios new intervention priorities can be derived based on total expected costs of cause and effect chain of events. In these ''scenarios'' the priorities are based on the cost of the whole product life cycle and are connected with the corrective actions which are to be planned, even if they are often in conflict with the classic RPN (Risk Priority Number) ranking.
