Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
The RamLog FMECA/FMEA capability is based on a System Functional and/or Physical
Breakdown Structure and it provides the user with the ability to perform a Functional/Physical
Analysis. The data fields are tailored to the requirements of MIL-STD-1388-2B/DEF-STAN-0060
with the objective to assist during the identification of corrective maintenance
tasks.
Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis View
Data Fields
The following data fields are available:
|
LCN |
Displays the Logistic Control Number. (LCN)
|
|
LCN Name
|
Displays the LCN name or description.
|
|
Seq
|
The sequence of the failure mode |
|
FM Code
|
The failure mode code.
|
|
Mode Description
|
A description of the failure mode.
|
|
Class Code
|
A one-position code that categorizes the failure resulting from the identified failure
mode as a technical (T) or an operational (O) failure.
|
|
Local Effect
|
Describe the consequences of the failure mode local to the item operation or function.
This is the consequence a failure has on other functions or items.
|
|
Next Effect
|
Describe the consequences of the failure mode on the next higher item operation
or function. This is the consequence a failure has on the next level.
|
|
End Effect
|
Describe the consequences of the failure mode and effect on the item operation or
function. This is the consequence a failure has on the mission, e.g. mission abort,
delayed)
|
|
Detection Method
|
The method by which a failure will be detected by various operational and maintenance
personnel. This is defined by the user.
|
|
Comp. Provisions
|
Describe the existing compensation provisions to compensate for the effect or prevention
of the failure, e.g. redundancy test procedures, design |
|
Design Change
|
A description that identifies and determines the recommended design changes and
the result of each recommendation for which the analysis indicates that a re-design
might be warranted.
|
|
Cause
|
This field should contain, identify and describe all probable independent causes
for each failure mode.
|
|
Remarks
|
Any additional comments, notes or remarks on the failure mode.
|
Reports
The following standard FMECA/FMEA reports are available for a Functional/Physical
Analysis: The user also have the ability to customize (select the required data
field using the XML report capability).
- FMECA Report
- FMECA Recommendation Report
- Criticality Report
