Description

<p>The FMEA Assistant guides the analyst through a set of questions about component attributes, including subsystem type, kinds of resources used, and types of outputs.  The chosen attributes narrow down the number of possible choices of failure modes that make sense for that component.   The analyst need only consider a few small sets from the full list of common failure modes to find the appropriate ones.  The dialog is dynamic, so that the choices of failure modes presented change if the analyst changes the attribute selections. The tool also has extended the use of standardization by offering short lists of common failure causes and effects for each failure mode.   Two new features have recently been added: support for choosing hazards associated with identified failure modes and effects, and a library of standard components (e.g., valve, gauge, latch) with pre-selected failure modes. <br /> </p>
