Software FMEA Opportunities and benefits of FMEA in the development process of software-intensive technical systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Technical systems are prevalent in many areas of our society. Nowadays they often include a considerable amount of software. Identification and avoidance of technical risks is of major importance in the development of these softwareintensive technical systems. A powerful analysis technique in the development process for technical systems is the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This technique has proved very effective in avoiding failures in many areas of industry. However, there is to date no widespread use of the FMEA technique for software-intensive systems. Objectives and benefits of carrying out FMEAs on software will be discussed along with advantages, areas of application, weaknesses and constraints.

Model-based Failure Modes and Effects Analysis of Software
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is widely used in engineering hardware systems to help in understanding the effects of potential failures and the faults that cause them to occur. The analysis is iterative leading to improvements in the design until the risks associated with potential failure modes are reduced to an acceptable level. Interest in applying the technique to software has increased...

Today, the information systems play a critical role in business for each organization. Like other organizations, hospitals use information systems for data collection, data storage, data processing and the like to have long-term and short-term achievements. Despite the very benefits of implementing HIS and its costly implementation, the HIS project sometimes fails. The importance of the HIS fai...
متن کاملA Chance Constrained Multiple Objective Goal Programming Model of Fuzzy QFD and FMEA: Model Development
There are varieties of QFD combination forms available that can help management to choose the right model for his/her types of problem. The proposed MOCC-QFD-FMEA model is a right model to include variety of objectives as well as the risk factors into the model of the problem. Due to the fact that the model also takes into consideration the concept of Fuzzy set, it further allows management...
متن کاملAPU FMEA Validation Using Operation and Maintenance Data
FMEA(Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a systematic method of identifying and preventing system, product and process problems. As a standard document, FMEA is produced during the design of products or systems. However, FMEA documentation is rarely validated or updated in practice after it was generated. FMEA validation remains a challenge. In this technical report, we propose to validate FM...
متن کاملRisk management in medical product development process using traditional FMEA and fuzzy linguistic approach: a case study
Medical product development (MPD) process is highly multidisciplinary in nature, which increases the complexity and the associated risks. Managing the risks during MPD process is very crucial. The objective of this research is to explore risks during MPD in a dental product manufacturing company and propose a model for risk mitigation during MPD process to minimize failure events. A case study ...
