FMECA - Maintainability Information
It is the procedure by which each potential failure is analyzed to determine how the failure is detected and the actions to be taken to repair the failure.
The failure of an item that would consequence in failure of the system and is not compensated for by redundancy or alternative operational procedure.
This is a postulated failure mode in the FMEA for which there is no failure detection method by which the operator is made aware of the failure.
