FMEA Example

• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).

• Starts from the foreseen functions (at the system or software level) and ends up at the system level with “odd” situations.

• Can be combined with a Fault Tree Analysis.

• Generic (but not necessarily the only ones) failure modes:

  • No function;

  • Incorrect Function;

  • Delayed/too soon Function.
