Analysis techniques for system reliability - Procedure for failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)

Describes Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). Gives guidance as to how they may be applied: -by providing the procedural steps necessary to perform an analysis; -by identifying appropriate terms, assumptions, criticality measures, failure modes; -by determining ground rules; -by providing examples of the necessary forms.
