What is ‘Failure Mode, Effect and Criticality Analysis’ ?

Is a Structured analysis process for:

• Identification of equipment/system functions
• Identification of functional failures
• Identification of Failure Modes
• Identification of the effects of the failure
• Assessing criticality of the failure

Uses:

• Elimination of undesirable failure modes during design
• Input to RCM Analysis
• Input to asset condition risk assessment
