Elements of FMECA
The three elements of a complete FMECA are following:
- Failure Mode
- Failure Effect
- Failure Criticality
These briefed out here below:
The anticipated conditions of operation are utilized as the background to learn the most probable failure mode, locations & mechanism of the product or system and its components.
The potential failures are learnt to determine their probable effects on the performance of the entire product, process or service and the influence of the several components on each other.
The potential failures of the several parts of the product or service system are verified to determine the severity of each failure effect in terms of lowering of performance, , total loss of function, safety hazard etc.
