- Is a systematic review of a mechanical system considering the effects of failures at each point. [10]
- An FMEA where additionally the criticality of a failure mode or failure cause is assessed by estimating the severity and probability of the failure. Severity and probability are each expressed as ranking indices. [1]
- Is a systemized inductive method of determining equipment functions, functional failure modes, assessing the causes of such failures and their effects or consequences, as well as their effect on production availability and reliability, safety, cost, quality etc., on a component level. [13]
