Failure Mode and Effects Analysis ( FMEA) is a proactive technique for error detection and risk reduction. In order to effectively analyze and control use-related risk of medical devices, quantitative methodologies must be applied. Use-related risk analysis for medical devices based on improved FMEA.
However, the tool could be adapted for use in a wide range of applications from NASA to the energy industry. Recommendations are made based on a library using common failure modes identified over the course of several major human spaceflight programs.
This new and unique approach to FMEA uses model based systems engineering concepts to recommend failure modes, causes, and effects to the user after they have made several selections from pick lists about a component's functions and inputs/outputs. Fleming, Land D.Īn effort to determine the feasibility of a software tool to assist in Failure Modes and Effects Analysis ( FMEA) has been completed.

This new and unique approach to FMEA uses model based systems engineering concepts to recommend failure modes, causes, and effects to the user after they have made several selections from pick lists about a component s functions and inputs/outputs. This highlights some of the difficulties associated with the analysis of a system with the unique mission requirements of the Space Shuttle.įailure Modes and Effects Analysis ( FMEA) Assistant Tool Feasibility StudyĪn effort to determine the feasibility of a software tool to assist in Failure Modes and Effects Analysis ( FMEA) has been completed. As an example, the FMEA and CIL for the SRM nozzle assembly is discussed in detail. The various data required by the CIL and contribution of this data to the retention rationale is also presented. The criticality category definitions are presented and the rationale for assigning criticality is presented. Especially highlighted are aspects of the FMEA/CIL which are unique to the analysis of an SRM. The evolution of the groundrules and methodology used in the analysis is discussed and compared to standard FMEA techniques. The recertification of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) has included an extensive rewriting of the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis ( FMEA) and Critical Items List (CIL).
