A piece-part FMECA requires far more effort, but provides the benefit of better estimates of probabilities of occurrence. However, Functional FMEAs can be performed much earlier, may help to better structure the complete risk assessment and provide other type of insight in mitigation options. The analyses are complementary.
Weapon System Safety is an important application of the system safety field, due to the potentially destructive effects of a system failure or malfunction.
