3.6. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
Failure mode and effect analysis is a tool that examines
potential product or process failures, evaluates risk priorities,
and helps determine remedial actions to avoid
identified problems. The spreadsheet format allows easy
review of the analysis. Failure mode and effect analysis
help on identifying and the creation of functional failure.
At the following tables (Tables 5 and 6) we will represent
the failure Mode and effect analysis for the same two
equipments we represent its root cause failure analysis [9]:
1) Fire-tube boiler.
2) Multi-stage centrifugal pump.
