Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic quality analysis tool developed in 1960 by the aerospace industry to improve system reliability and safety. FMEA works from the bottom up to analyze each component's potential failure modes and their effects on the overall system. The 9 step FMEA process identifies risks and ways to eliminate or reduce the highest risks. FMEA is now used across many industries to improve quality, safety, and reduce costs by preventing defects.

Hi @All,
This is a 30 minute introductory presentation of FMEA according to my personal professional view. I have chosen only those references that aligns with what I think best describe this analytical method.
FMEA is a technique developed by military reliability engineers between 1940 2) to 1950 using inductive reasoning (forward logic) single point of systematic failure analysis. FMEA helps to identify potential failure modes based on experience with similar products and processes - or based on common physics of failure logic. Effects Analysis refers to studying the consequences of those failures on different system. FMEA is an examination of all possible failures.

The FMEA relates to a very broad spectrum on how effective this tool can be utilized as solver aid in dealing with the histories/pattern of failure in the product.
And how well can it be hierarchically deal with analysis the root cause of the problem.
This methodology is widely adopted in almost all manufacturing branch industries, due to its efficiency is tracking down all the possibilities occurrence in failure with the severity, occurrence, etc and other parameters to define the intensity of the failure being occurred.
To understand the tools usage a bit further, I have enumerated a case study via a example in this slides.
The Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis is a reliability evaluation/design technique which examines the potential failure modes within a system and its equipment, in order to determine the effects on equipment and system performance.
FMEA has been around for many decades and has a long history as a method to support product designs, manufacturing processes, service, and maintenance. The plain truth is FMEA has the potential to be a very powerful tool to achieve high reliability in products and processes; and when done well, it is remarkably effective. Yet in practice, FMEA does not always achieve the expected results. Based on the experience of over two thousand FMEAs and working with many companies in a wide variety of applications, certain common mistakes show up repeatedly. What are the primary ways that FMEAs can be done wrongly (mistakes made), and what are the quality characteristics that make for effective FMEAs (quality objectives)? These questions are answered in this new short course on FMEA
Failure mode and effects analysis is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

In 1960 the aerospace industry created Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, a quality
tool designed to improve the process of discovering how systems fail. Since its invention, this
tool has been adopted by many diverse industries and its scope of application had broadened to
include elements of failure prevention relating to areas such as design, service, and equipment.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an analysis tool that works from the
bottom up. It systematically considers the failure of each component of a system, and how
those individual failures relate to the failure of the system as a whole. To operate, the system
under analysis is dissected into components according to the smallest level of detail to which
the system is designed. FMEA works upward through the system components and in its
consideration of the failure mode of each component, this process identifies, analyzes, and
documents these failures to better understand their effect on the rest of the system. The result
of a FMEA is an improved understanding of how failures influence the performance of the
entire system, and how that understanding in itself relates to product and personnel safety.
The implementation of FMEA has many potential benefits to its users. By analyzing the
failure modes of components in a system, a company can better modify their processes to
prevent any defects and safety problems. Therefore the product produced by those adhering to
the use of FMEA will be of improved quality, reliability, and safety. This in turn will lead to
increased customer satisfaction, as well as creating a good name for the producer’s themselves.
The decreased occurrence of defects and safety problems lowers the producer’s risk and also
reduces the product development costs, re-work costs, warranty costs.
The use of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis isn’t strictly reserved for any one area in
a company’s system design. It can be used to analyze the potential failure of five distinct areas:
2. Concept, Process, Design, Service, and Equipment. FMEA can be used in the analysis of a
design concept in order to consider its required systems and subsystems. FMEA is also used to
evaluate which processes should be undertaken to bring a concept to life through the use of
manufacturing and assembly. The design processes are analyzed using FMEA to prevent
possible defects prior to the mass production of the product ensues. Service industry processes
can likewise be analyzed by FMEA before they are released to customers to prevent any failure
or loss of business. Lastly, the use of FMEA to test the potential failure of prospective
equipment is a valuable process businesses use prior to making a final purchase.
As mentioned earlier, FMEA works upward through the system components in its
consideration of the failure modes of the entire system. This process is composed of 9 steps as
provided by S. Thomas Foster as seen in Figure 1 and Definition 1.
Figure 1
9. Eliminate or reduce highest risks.
8. Identify highest risks.
7. Estimate failure detection.
6. Estimate likelihood of failure.
5. Determine hazard likelihood and categorize.
4. Describe effects of each failure mode.
3.List one or two failure modes for each function
2. List functions for each part.
1. Assign each component an identifier.
Definition 1:
1. The first FMEA step is to give each component in the system a unique identifier; this is so none of the
parts will be overlooked in the analysis.
2. In the second step, list all the functions each part of the system performs. This step requires you to
develop a block diagram for the description of your design.
3. List the one or two failure modes for each function from the second step. The best description of a failure
mode is a short statement of how a function may fail to be performed. What a product does or does not do
when it fails describes the failure mode.
3. 4. The fourth step describes what effects each failure mode of the component will have, especially the
effects perceived by the user or operator. Analysis of the effects should follow a hierarchical order as any
effect should be fairly detailed so the severity of each effect can be judged. Some of these effects measure
the consequence of failures on a component or part of a device, the whole system, the user, and/or the
public.
5. Determine whether the failure will result in a potential hazard to personnel or the system. Then
categorize how severe each hazard will be. There are four basic categories hazards that fall into:
catastrophic, critical, marginal, and negligible.
6. Estimate the relative likelihood of occurrence for each failure. The likelihood of occurrences is estimated
using a 10-point scale and described in steps 4 and 5, ranging from highly unlikely (1) to very likely (10).
7. Estimate the ease with which the failure may be detected. If the failure takes so long to be detected that it
becomes too late to replace of repair, the magnitude of the problem is likely to be much greater than if the
failure can be easily detected.
8. Use the estimates in steps 5,6 and 7 to identify the highest risks related to the system.
9. Decide what action will be taken to eliminate of reduce the highest risks in the system. The most common
decision made is to alter the design to reduce the likelihood of occurrence and failure severity or simply
to bring about easy failure detection.
One area where the use FMEA analysis has been exhibited is in the marine industry.
Obviously safety is immensely important and is the utmost concern when developing the
designs and processes used to construct submarines, vessels, and boats. Traditionally marine
design regulation has accepted a certain probability of risk and failure associated with the
processes. Although the complete elimination of risk is impossible, the marine industry is
recognizing the powerful techniques provided by FMEA that can be used to perform risk
analysis of their systems. In fact, regulations have been passed on the design, construction, and
operation of U.S. flagged ships mandating the use of a qualitative failure analysis technique.
Although these regulations don’t specifically require the use of FMEA, it is the most frequently
used technique applied.
The use of FMEA analysis has been increasing in many industries. Its function of
identifying the possible failure modes within a system is an integral part in maintaining
successful processes within a business structure. While revealing to its users how a system
may fail, it provides grounds for continuous improvement and prevention of future failure. For
