Posted By CFT The following is a reasonable explanation into the contents with an example. You can apply this to the system/process etc you are wishing to analyse. There are many such examples about; this is just one. http://web2.concordia.ca...1failuremodeanalysis.pdf You can use ETA & FTA in addition to FMEA if you so wish. All the best CFT

Posted By Tabs CFT/Colin, That is a nice clear explanation at the link you provided. I would add though, that instead of arbitrary 1-10 figures, you can use real data if you have it. Back in the 80's when I was using it to influence design and assembly we used test data and warranty data to formulate failure frequency and even severity. It gets technical, but it works better in terms of consistency from one person / project to the next.

Posted By CFT Hi Tabs Its a point, but aren't you getting into quantitative analysis, as opposed to 'failure modes & effects' which is a bit more general and does not require the level of commitment in terms of time and effort & indeed much reactive research to obtain a satisfactory result? CFT

Posted By Tabs CFT - my usage goes back to automotive engineering. Ford Motor Co., introduced FMEA to the UK I think, and at GKN we picked it up to help design CV Joints. We used it as I described and I would say it was probably the original concept. FMEA might have developed since then, but it was certainly quantitative, and bloomin useful because of it - finally we could justify spending lots of money on tenths of a thou or a surface finish :-)

Posted By Tabs Cheek little Ford Popular! I am only just past 45-and-a-half ! (Not an oldie like you, ha ha!) Wish I had though - as an automotive Prject Engineer responsible for assembly, I would have had a lot to thank him for.
