Failure Modes, effects, and Criticality Analysis is an excellent hazard analysis and risk assessment tool, but it suffers from other limitations. This alternative does not consider combined failures or typically include software and human interaction considerations. It also usually provides an optimistic estimate of reliability.
Functional analyses are needed as an input to determine correct failure modes, at all system levels, both for functional FMEA or piece-part (hardware) FMEA. A FMEA is used to structure mitigation for risk reduction based on either failure mode or effect severity reduction, or based on lowering the probability of failure or both.
Under the functional failure mode approach, the actual functional failure modes of the product are identified during a DFMEA. During the detailed FMEDA, each component failure mode is mapped to a functional failure mode. The functional failure modes are then categorized according to product failure mode in a particular application. [13]
The Functional Safety process is focused on identifying functional failure conditions leading to hazards. Functional Hazard Analyses / Assessments are central to determining hazards. FHA is performed early in aircraft design, first as an Aircraft Functional Hazard Analysis (AFHA) and then as a System Functional Hazard Analysis (SFHA).
ANSI/GEIA-STD-0010-2009 (Standard Best Practices for System Safety Program Development and Execution) is a demilitarized commercial best practice that uses proven holistic, comprehensive and tailored approaches for hazard prevention, elimination and control. It is centered around the hazard analysis and functional based safety process.
FMEA – failure modes, & effects analysis; FMECA – failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis; FMI – formation micro imaging log (azimuthal microresistivity) FMP – formation microscan report; FMP – Field Management Plan; FMS – formation multi-scan log; formation micro-scan log; FMS – flush-mounted slips; FMT – flow ...
A fault tree diagram. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a type of failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is examined. This analysis method is mainly used in safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to reduce risk and to determine (or get a feeling for) event rates of a safety accident or a particular system level ...
In addition to a circuit analysis, a WCCA often includes stress and derating analysis, failure modes and effects criticality and reliability prediction . The specific objective is to verify that the design is robust enough to provide operation which meets the system performance specification over design life under worst-case conditions and ...
