Integration of HAZOP and FMEA analysis

Some results of the implementation of a new support tool for automated hazard analysis are presented in this paper. We describe in detail the further progresses on the application of intelligent systems to the hazard analysis and especially to the HAZOP and FMEA analysis. A previously developed program, that allows the automatic generation of the report of the HAZOP analysis as regards the dete...
