RiskSpectrum^® FMEA

RiskSpectrum FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) helps you analyse, document and quality assure the input to your fault tree model.

FMEA is an important tool which facilitates the quality assurance process by providing a readily traceable means of documenting important information for components (modelling assumptions etc.,) when performing a risk and availability analysis. Another advantage with an FMEA is that you get a structured list of the effects the postulated failures may have upon the system being analysed.

At Relcon Scandpower, we realised that it would be advantageous if some data, for example failure data, could be automatically exported from the FMEA database into a RiskSpectrum FT or PSA Professional database. Setting this is as one of the objectives, we have developed RiskSpectrum® FMEA.

RiskSpectrum FMEA not only helps you analyse and document failures in the system being analysed, it also automatically generates basic events and parameters which can be directly imported into your RiskSpectrum FT or PSA fault tree models.

Here is How it Works:
 

You create your Components with unique IDs, and other relevant information, such as test interval, time to first test and mission time. Store your failure data, such as probability (q), failure intensity (l) and frequency (f) in Component Types. Create FMEAs for your components with failure modes, failure effects and reliability models. Each FMEA can be used to generate unique basic events (and associated data parameters) which you can import to a RiskSpectrum FT or PSA Professional project. In addition you can group your FMEAs and create “user defined fields”.
