FMECA: an integrated approach

P. Luthra

Open publisher page 16 citations

Abstract

FMECA (failure modes, effects and criticality analysis) is an engineering analysis and a core activity performed by reliability engineers to review the effects of probable failure modes of components and assemblies of the system on system performance. The FMECA is a system analysis tool used as an input for logistic support analysis, test requirements document (TRD), fault trees, built-in test (BIT) analysis, and safety analysis. The authors describe the approach developed to improve the FMECA analysis and its documentation, enabling it to be used in other analyses (BIT analysis, LSA-B sheets, fault tree, and TRD) via automation to meet total quality management objectives.>
