Executive Summary

This paper provides a piece of work on a model-based automation of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis on a part i.e. vehicle braking system. We depict the FMEA assignment and the requisition issue and layout the establishments for robotizing the errand dependent upon a (compositional) model. The fundamental parts of models of the hydraulic components appropriate to generate the forecasts required for the FMEA are presented. The models are dependent upon obligations, as opposed to re-enactment, that catch the dynamic reaction of the frameworks to an early scenario dependent upon one worldwide coordination step and verify deviations from ostensible purpose of the unit.

Introduction

The FMEA method is one of the best known and most widely used risk management methods. Use and how to use certain professional fields are required. However, some of the time of writing, this seemed a bit complicate, and would make it difficult to understand explanation of the use of the method. Therefore, we are trying here and now the FMEA risk management approach for all simple, easy to understand and presented graphically.

Thus is obtained a list of possible faults, organized by order of the risk they pose and their actions to be taken to mitigate them. This list assists in choosing alternative designs with high reliability during the early stages of the design phase. This ensures that all possible failure of a project / process is considered and their probabilities of occurrence minimized (when necessary).

Discussion

FMEA (failure mode and effect analysis) is a tool used to increase the reliability of a given product during the design phase or process. The tool basically consists of a set of systematic activities to detect possible failures and evaluate their effects for the project / process. From these possible flaws, it identifies actions to be taken to eliminate or reduce the likelihood of making the change. These actions may also aim to increase the likelihood of detecting these failures so that products have conformities not reach the customer.

The mechanisms used in FMEA are relative simple. The method basically consists in identifying and disposing all potential failure modes in a table to facilitate their interpretation. After the failure modes are being arranged on the table, they must be analyzed and classified in relation to three aspects: Severity, probability and detect ability. By multiplying these three indices, one has available, the failure modes ordered according to their importance. In this way, we obtain a table that assists in making decisions regarding changes (related to increased reliability) in the project (Stamatis, 2003).

FMEA was initially developed to be used in the design phase to avoid, through analysis of potential failures and proposals for improvement actions, failures occur in the projects of products / processes. But it can be used throughout the life cycle of the product to detect possible failures as ...
