Failure Mode Effect Analysis New

This document provides an overview of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). FMEA is a hazard review technique that examines potential failures of system components and their effects. The FMEA process involves forming a review team, gathering documents, identifying equipment and possible failure modes, determining failure effects and associated risks, recommending preventative actions, and reporting results. The methodology is well-suited for equipment-oriented systems but limited to analyzing single failures. Conducting an FMEA involves documenting the analysis in a tabular worksheet.

FAILURE MODE EFFECT

ANALYSIS

Prof. R. Saravanan
Annamalai University
FMEA
 A failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a
type of hazard review that probes the failures
of components within a process or system and
the resultant effects of those failures
 FMEA methodology is largely equipment
oriented
 This technique is useful in analyzing single
failure modes that result in unwanted
situations and not efficient for reviewing large
number of multiple component failures

Prof. R Saravanan, AU
FMEA
 Step 1: Formation of review team
 Step 2: Gathering documents
 Step 3: Conducting FMEA
 Identify and describe the equipment
 Determine the failure modes
 Determine the effects of failures
 Judge the risk
 Recommendations for Action
 Step 4: Reporting the Results

Prof. R Saravanan, AU
Conducting FMEA
 Identify and describe the equipment
◦ All the major equipment are listed in the order in
which they appear on the P & I Diagram

◦ Each piece of equipment has to be “checked off”


for its failure modes

◦ Ensure that the equipment is identified in ways


(V-141) that the reviewers can understand and
usable later by others who act upon
recommendations

Prof. R Saravanan, AU
Conducting FMEA…
 Determine the failure modes
o For each component or piece of equipment listed, determine
all of the possible failure modes that are consistent with the
equipment operation

 Determine the Effects of the Failures


◦ The review team shall carefully examine and consider
all the immediate effects of those determined failure
modes
 Judge the Risk
◦ The review team then makes a judgment about the risks
around each of the equipment failures and associated
effects and classify its severity/consequences.

Prof. R Saravanan, AU
Conducting FMEA…
 Recommendations for Action
◦ Based on the identification of failure modes
determined for each of the situations, the team
then shall make recommendations.

◦ Discussions and brain storming sessions at each


failure modes are carried and suitable preventive
techniques/suggestions will be recommended.

Prof. R Saravanan, AU
Reporting the Results

◦ The information developed during the


analysis needs to be communicated for
important findings and it shall be directed
towards its implementation to overcome
the failures.

◦ A tabular nature of worksheet is prepared


by the team and submitted for all of the
findings

FMEA – Pros and Cons
 Well suited for equipment oriented systems

 Limited to single failure modes

 For complex mechanical or electrical systems


that has multiple operator interface
opportunities, FMEA is out of scope
