Failure Models by FMECA
Model Inputs
The key inputs utilized in failure modelling by using FMEA/FMECA are as follows:
It is a numerical measure of how serious is the effect of the failure to the customer. It is to assess the failure result on a supposed scale with questioning, if the component or system failure results in a mere nuisance or might it result in serious injury. The degree of severity is normally measured on a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 are most severe.
It is a measure of probability that a specific mode shall actually happen. The degree of occurrence is measured on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 signify the highest probability of occurrence.
It is a measure of probability that a specific mode would be detected in the manufacturer's own operation before attaining the customer. The level of detection is measured on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 signify virtually no ability to detect the fault.
