FMEA is a systematic process for indentifying potential design or process failure before they occur. The aim is to eliminate them or minimize the risk associated with them. The method is a procedure to analize failure modes and clasified them by severity. It is a systematic process for identifying potential failures before they occur with the intent to eliminate them or minimize the risk associ...

A methodology for the development of PM using the modern approaches of FMEA, root-cause analysis, and fault-tree analysis is presented. Applying PM leads to a cost reduction in maintenance and less overall energy expenditure. Implementation of PM is preferable to the present reactive maintenance procedures (still prevalent in Nigeria). 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

background: the reliability and safety of gas refineries are strongly associated with the reliability of other parts of the system. defect and failure in one part of a system can cause total system breakdown or accident. the failure and damage in these equipment such as transformers and boilers results in not only the equipment damage and human injuries but also productivity reduction. the purp...

One of possible ways to achieve a very high level of confidence in a system is to develop its adequate model and then to analyse the properties of this model. The paper presents how object oriented modelling extended with formal specifications is used to support FMEA of software intensive systems. The paper refers to the case study of a computerised railway signalling system.

PURPOSE To develop and implement a failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA)-based commissioning and quality assurance framework for dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) tumor tracking systems. METHODS A systematic failure mode and effect analysis was performed for a prototype real-time tumor tracking system that uses implanted electromagnetic transponders for tumor position monitoring and a DML...
