Failure Modes
and Effects Analysis is a structured method of
determining equipment functions, functional failures, assessing
the causes of failures and their failure effects. The first part
of a Reliability Centered Maintenance analysis is a Failure Modes and
Effects Analysis.
Benefits from Failure Modes and Effects Analysis:
- It provides designers and maintenance engineers with an
understanding of the structure of the system, and the factors
which influence reliability.
- It helps to identify items that are reliability sensitive or of
high risk, and so gives a means of deciding priorities for
corrective action.
- It identifies where special effort is needed during
manufacture, assembly or maintenance.
- It establishes if there are any operational constraints
resulting from the design.
- It gives assurance to management and/or customers that
reliability is being or has been properly addressed in the
project.
