This document provides an overview of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). FMEA is a systematic process used to evaluate potential failures in products or processes. It involves identifying possible failures, analyzing their causes and effects, and prioritizing issues based on severity, occurrence, and detection. The document discusses different types of FMEAs, key features like reliability determination and failure detection, advantages, and the typical structure and contents of an FMEA document/form.
In software industry, the concept of quality has become a significant aspect and is
expressed and defined in many different ways. Quality assurance, and in particular software
testing and verification, are areas that yet have much to offer to the industry. This paper
emphasizes the importance of a quality process and also discusses about the ways in which it
could be achieved through offline software quality techniques in particular SFMEA Model.
Software FMEA determines the software failure modes that are likely to cause top
level failure events. Software FMEAs are useful when designing and testing the error
handling part of the software process. It has to be found that there is significant improvement
in quality in terms of reduced RPN values.

FMEA failure-mode-and-effect-analysis_Occupational safety and healthJing Jing Cheng
Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is one of the methods of hazard analysis. Through FMEA, failures in a system that may lead to undesirable situation can be identified
To identify which failures in a system can lead to undesirable situation.
The FMEA is introduced as a tool here to analyze engineering failures and case studies have been provided to explain their methodologies and corrections to improve the quality and reliability of Designs and components.
1. DFMEA Definition
DEMEA Full Form - Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis
DEMEA (Design FMEA) it means design failure mode effect analysis. On other hand it is type of failure mode effect analysis that motive is to reduce the product failure.
DFMEA is an practical approach used in the design and product development phase to improve and maintain the quality of product and its research process.
For an Example: Design FMEA Process Sheet of a Ballpoint Pen.

2. Why we need to use Design-FMEA
Quality is very important for customer satisfaction, loyalty and future product purchases. Recent quality scandals involving many companies have shown that serious design issues can damage a company's reputation or harm its business.
Less serious design problems fail to satisfy customers, delay new product launches, and cost the company financially.
In new product projects, design errors are inadvertently made during the design and product development phases. Without DFMEA almost all errors were detected only during validation and trial production, some only after the start of production.
However, the costs of developing countermeasures in the later phase are much higher than in the previous phase. With DFMEA, countermeasures are considered to coincide with the onset of defects.

3. When will DFMEA be conducted
With DFMEA, organizations can ensure that all design requirements are fully met before production begins and maintain design quality later.
3.1. When to start
For new product designs, FMEA should start with product design before prototypes are produced.
3.2 Verification Time
The team must continually review and update the DFMEA document as the product changes:
Product design changes: Product changes can be a reason for a DFMEA review. In this case, you need to focus on the point of change and the points made.
Quality problems caused by product design: New internal defects or customer returns need to be reflected in the DFMEA to review and consider corrective action.
4. Who will do the DFMEA?
A good DFMEA should be carried out by a multifunctional team and led by a responsible product designer. The departments involved should include design, test analysis engineers, manufacturing, supplier quality, product quality, service, and logistics, among others.
Hierarchy for DFMEA Team Organization
5. How DFMEA is done
5.1 DFMEA Templates
First, a DFMEA template (also known as a DFMEA form) is required. Like other FMEA templates, the DFMEA template consists of two parts: the head and the body.
The header contains general information including but not limited to product name, product number, team member, project manager, customer, document number, and document version.
The body contains many columns with links. There are many different FMEA design templates that contain different column names. Multiple columns can be divided or combined, but there is no difference in meaning.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

1. FAILURE MODE AND EFFECT ANALYSIS (FMEA)
Discuss about Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
Introduction
A failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), is a procedure in product development and
operations management for analysis of potential failure modes within a system for classification
by-the severity and likelihood of the failures. A successful , FMEA activity helps a team to identify
potential failure modes based on past experience with similar products or processes, enabling the
team to design those failures out of the system with the minimum of effort and resource
expenditure, thereby reducing
development time and costs. .
It is widely used in manufacturing industries in various phases of the product life cycle and is now
increasingly finding use in the service industry. Failure modes are any errors or defects in a process,
design, or item, especially those that affect the customer, and can be potential or actual.
Effects-analysis refers to studying the consequences of those failures.Types-of FMEA
>
Process: analysis of manufacturing and assembly processes
>
Design: analysis of products prior to production
>
Concept: analysis of systems or subsystems in the early design concept stages
>
Equipment: analysis of machinery and equipment design^before purchase
>
Service: analysis of service industry processes before they are released to impact the
customer
>
System: analysis of the global system functions
>
Software: analysis of the software functions
Process. FMEA is used to identify potential process failure modes by ranking failures and helping
to establish priorities according to the relative impact on the internal or external customer.
Implementing process FMEA helps to identify potential manufacturing or assembly causes in order
to establish controls for occurrence reduction and detection. Furthermore, design and process
FMEA document the results of the design and production processes, respectively.
Features
1. It is Reliability : Reliability is one of the most important characteristics of any product, no
matter what its application. Reliability is also an important aspect when dealing with customer
satisfaction, whether the customer is internal or external.
2.
Determine the Failure Rate : A vast majority of products follow a very familiar pattern of
failure. When no information is known about the reliability (probability of survival) or, conversely,
failure of a Product, component, system or process, except the failure rate which is a constant,
periods of failure can conveniently be modeled by an exponential distribution. The probability of
survival of this type of product using an exponential distribution may be expressed as
Where
Rj = the reliability or probability of survival
t = the time specified for operation without failure 1 = the failure rate .
q = the mean time to failure
3.
FMEA attempts to detect the potential product-related failure modes:
2. The technique is used to anticipate causes of failure and prevent them from happening.
FMEA uses occurrence and detection probability criteria in conjunction with severity criteria to
develop risk prioritization numbers for prioritization of corrective action considerations. This
method is an important step in debugging and preventing problems that may occur in the
manufacturing process. It should be noted that for FMEA to be successful, it is extremely important
to treat the FMEA as a living .document, continually changing as new problems are found and
being updated to ensure that the most critical problems are identified and. addressed quickly.

The Process FMEA Document
The basic philosophy concerning the process FMEA document is almost identical to that of the
design FMEA document examined earlier. Process FMEA is, an analytical technique utilized by a
Manufacturing responsible Engineering Team as a means to assure that, to the extent possible,
potential failure modes and their associated causes mechanisms have been considered and
addressed.
A process FMEA is required for all new parts/processes, changed parts/processes, and carryover
parts recesses in new applications or environments. The process FMEA document should be
initiated before or at the feasibility stage, prior to tooling for . production, and take into account
all manufacturing operations, from individual components to assemblies. Early review and analysis
of new or revised processes is promoted to anticipate, resolve, or monitor potential process
concerns during the manufacturing planning stages of a new model or component program.
When creating and/or revising the process FMEA document, it may be assumed that the product
will meet the design intent as designed. However, knowledge of potential failures due to a design
weakness can be included in process FMEA, if desired. Process FMEA does not rely on product
design changes to overcome weaknesses in the process, but it does take into consideration a
product's design characteristics relative to the planned manufacturing or assembly process to assure
that, to the extent possible, the resulting product meets customer needs and expectations.
Figure : Design of FMEA Form
3. The Design FMFA Document
The top section in the form is used mainly for document tracking and organization.
1. FMEA Number : On the top left comer of the document is the FMEA Number, which is only
needed for tracking.
2. Item : The Item space is used only to. clarify which exact component or process is being
analyzed. The appropriate level of analysis should be included here, along with the name and
number of the system or sub-system being analyzed.
3. Design Responsibility : The team in charge of the design or process should be identified in the
space designated Design Responsibility. The name and company (or department) of the person or
group responsible for preparing the document should also be included.
4. Prepared By : The name, telephone number, and address should be included in the prepared
by space for use when parts of the document need explanation.
5. Model Number/Year : Both the name and identification number of the system, or component
should be included in the Model Number/year space to avoid ' confusion between similar
components.
6. Key Data : The data the initial FMEA is due 'should be placed in the Key Date space.
7. FMEA Data : The date the original FMEA was compiled and the latest revision date should be
placed in the FMEA date space.
8. Core Team : lathe space reserved for core team, the names of the responsible individuals and
departments that have authority to perform tasks should be listed. If the different people or
departments involved are not working closely or are not familiar with et ch other, team members'
names, departments, and phone numbers should be distributed.
9. Item/Function In this section, the name and number of the item being analyzed :
is
recorded. This information should be as precise as possible to avoid confusion involving similar
items. Next, the function of the item is to be entered below the description of the item. No specifics
should be left out in giving the function of the item If the. item has more than one function, they
should b ^ listed and analyzed separately. The function of the item should be completely give,
including the environment in which the system operates (including temperature, pressure,
humidity, and so forth); it should also be as concise as possible.
10. Potential Failure Mode : The Potential Failure Mode information may be one of two things. Fist,
it may be the method in which the item being analyzed may fail to meet the design criteria. Second,
it may be a method that may cause potential failure in a higher-level system or may be the result of
failure of a lower-level system. It is important to) consider and list each potential failure mode.
11. Potential Effect (s) of Failure : The potential effects of failure are the effects of the failure as
perceived by the customer. Recall that the customer may be internal or may be the end user of the
product. The effects of failure must be described in terms of what the customer will notice or
experience.
12. Severity(S) : Severity is the assessment of the seriousness of the effect of the potential failure
mode to the next component, sub-system, system, or customer if it occurs. It is important to realize
that the severity applies only to the effect of the failure, not the potential failure mode.
13. Classification (CLASS) : This column is used to classify any special any special product
characteristics for components, subsystems, or systems that may enquire additional process
controls. There should be a special method to designate any item the may require special process
controls on the form. .
4. 14. Potential Causes(S) Mechanism (S) of Failure : Every potential failure cause and /or
mechanism must be listed completely and concisely. Some failure modes may have more than one
cause and/or mechanism of failure.
15. Occurrence(O) : Occurrence is the chance that one of the specific causes/ mechanisms will
occur. This must be done for every cause and mechanism listed. Reduction or removal in
occurrence ranking must not come from any reasoning except for a direct change in the design.
16. Current Design Controls : In this portion of the form, the activities that assure the design
sufficiency for the failure mode or mechanism are listed. These activities may include, but are not
limited to, prevention measure, design validation, and design verification. These controls may be
supported through tests, which may include physical testing, mathematical studies.
17.
Detection(D) : This section of the document is a relative measure of the assessment of the
ability of the design control to detect either a potential cause/ mechanism or the subsequent failure
mode before the component, sub-system, or system is completed for production. Most typically,
in order to achieve a lower detection ranking in subsequent versions of the document, the planned
design control must be improved
18.
Risk Priority Number (RPN) : By definition, the Risk Priority Number is the :
product
of the severity (S), occurrence (O), and detection (D) rankings, as shown below;
This product may be viewed as a relative measure of the design risk. Values for the RPN can range
from 1 to 1000, with 1 being the smallest design risk possible.
1.9.
Recommended Actions : After every concern has been examined and given a risk priority
number, the team should begin to examine the corrective action(S) ; that may be-employed,
beginning with the concern with the greatest RPN and working in descending order according to
RPN. Also, concerns with high severity criteria should be examined with the lead group.of
concerns.
The purpose of the recommended actions is to reduce one or more of the criteria that constitute
the risk priority number.
20.
Responsibility and Target Completion Dates : Here the individual or group responsible for
the recommended actions and the target completion date . should be entered as reference for future
document users.
21.
Actions Taken : After an action has been implemented, brief description of the actual
action and its effective date should be entered. This is done after the ,
action has been
implemented so future document users may track the progress of the plan.
22.
Resulting RPN : After the corrective actions have been identified, the resulting severity,
occurrence, and detection rankings should be re-estimated. Then the resulting RPN should be
recalculated and recorded. If no actions are taken, this section should be left blank. If no actions
are taken and the prior rankings and RPN are simply repeated, future document users may reason
that there were recommended actions taken, but that they had no effect. After this section is
completed, the resulting RPN s should be evaluated, and if further action is deemed
necessary, steps from the Recommended Actions section should be repeated.
