Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a widely used dependability and safety technique aiming at systematically identifying failure modes, their causes, their effects, and the countermeasures that could mitigate their impact. Although FMEA has been thought for hardware, its use is also advocated for software (SW-FMEA). However, this involves several major hurdles such as the complexity of...

Many processes are safety critical and therefore could benefit from proactive safety analysis techniques that attempt to identify weaknesses of such processes before they are put into use. In this paper, we propose an approach that automatically derives Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) information from processes modeled in the Little-JIL process definition language. Typically FMEA inform...

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a widely used quality improvement and risk assessment tool in manufacturing. Design and process failures recorded through FMEA provides valuable knowledge for future product and process design. However, the way the knowledge is captured poses considerable difficulties for reuse. This research aims to contribute to the reuse of FMEA knowledge through a ...

For proper management of life cycle of machines and manufacturing facilities, it is important to perform appropriate maintenance operations, and to keep machine status for better reuse and recycling opportunity. For this purpose, a virtual maintenance system is very effective, where facility life cycle model is constructed in computer, and reliability and availability of machines are predicted ...

In this study, failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), a proactive tool, was applied to reduce errors associated with the process which begins with assessment of patient and ends with treatment of complications. The aim of this study is to assess whether FMEA implementation will significantly reduce the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in intensive care unit.The FM...

Sistem perawatan yang dilakukan selama ini adalah bersifat breakdown maintenance yaitu pemeliharaan setelah mesin mengalami kerusakan. belum memberikan data akurat kapan suatu atau komponen kerusakan, sehingga strategi tepat untuk menjaga tetap beroperasi menentukan interval waktu optimal.Hasil analisis dengan menggunakan metode Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) maka didapat kritis pada Mesin...

The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) design discipline involves the examination at design time of the consequences of potential component failures on the functionality of a system. It is clear that this type of information could also prove useful for diagnostic purposes. Unfortunately, this information cannot be fully utilised for diagnosis when FMEA has been performed by human engineer...
