This paper made an attempt to establish a relationship between failure mode effect analysis (FMEA), overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and reliability allocation (RA). All the parameters of OEE (i.e. availability, performance rate and quality Rate) are evaluated with respective to FMEA (i.e. severity, occurrence and detection) and also reliability allocation (i.e. intricacy (I), state-of-the-art(S), performance time (P), and environment (E)). All hypotheses are analyzed by using the statistical software of SPSS. The results of statistical analysis showed that there is a positive relationship between OEE and RA and an inverse relationship FMEA and RA as well as between OEE and FMEA
