In industry, the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) methodology is one of main tools used for reliability management in product design development. However, academic literature highlights several shortcomings FMEA methodology. Therefore, purposes this paper are weaknesses FMEA, improvement method, implementation a new able to support quality more efficient way. Motivated by these objective...

Failure mode and reliability analysis is particularly important for robot manipulators to be deployed in remote environments, where inspection and repair are di cult, and reliability is of prime importance. This is particularly true for manipulators involved in hazardous waste management operations, where failure could be both expensive and highly dangerous. In this paper, we describe a Fault T...

Wind power generation is an effective form of clean, renewable energy which operates both on land and offshore. The primary means of converting wind to power is by wind turbines. The issue with wind turbines is high uncertainty of operating environment resulting in low life cycle reliability. Frequent breakdown failures resulting in reactive maintenance is costly which results in downtime and l...

When major emergencies or accidents occur, risk evaluation and prediction are the most important means to reduce their impact. Typical uses failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) method for failure-risk ranking control. However, when faced with severe special infectious diseases such as COVID-19, there many cognitive information uncertainties that FMEA is unable effectively handle. To deal issue ...

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) has become a popular tool for use in the Space Industry for the System Safety Engineer. The fault tree is used for everything from tracking hazard reports to investigating accidents, as well as presentations to management. Yet, experience in the space industry has shown the fault tree is used most often for purposes other than its original intent, namely for evaluating...

Limitations in scope but also difficulties with the efficiency and scalability of present algorithms seem to have so far limited the industrial uptake of existing automated FMEA technology. In this paper, we describe a new tool for the automatic synthesis of FMEAs which builds upon our earlier work on fault tree synthesis. The tool constructs FMEAs from engineering diagrams (e.g. developed in M...

Abstract Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach for identifying potential failures before they occur, with the intent to minimize the risk associated with them. It has been widely used in the various manufacturing industries as a solution to reliability problems. As the importance of the service sector is increasing, however, it has been recently extended to some appli...

Emerging safety analysis techniques use composition of failure models or fault simulation in formal models of a system to determine relationships between the causes and effects of failure. Most recent work has focused on developing system modelling and algorithms for automatic safety analysis. However, little work has focused on developing principles to improve reuse of safety analyses in the c...

In order to enable cooperation between information systems, three levels of cooperation have to be considered, viz. the technical, method, and agent level. We have examined the current state of integration in the field of quality management, coming to the conclusion that integration on the method and agent levels have been neglected so far. Therefore, we have developed a concept for ensuring th...
