AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR PREPARING FMECAS

Author: SEXTON, RD
Abstract: This paper addresses some of the practical problems associated with the application of formal, MIL-STD-1629, Failure Modes and Effects Analyses, and proposes an alternative, cost-saving methodology. Although the technique is fast in application, the technique allows engineers to influence design decisions, using FMEA studies, as the design progresses. The technique follows the spirit of the MIL standard, rather than its letter, and overcomes what is seen intuitively as one of the major shortcomings of the Standard, since a single failure can effectively only disrupt one system function. The availability of commercial software will undoubtedly spread the methods quickly. The methods described here have already rapidly gained acceptance and wide application in the United Kingdom.
