USING INTEGRATED SYSTEMS DIAGNOSTICS DESIGN TO GENERATE FAILURE MODE EFFECTS CRITICALITY ANALYSIS WITH DETECTION AND ISOLATION (FMECA+)

FMECA+ includes the following benefits:
1) highlights single point failures requiring corrective action
2) aids in developing test methods and troubleshooting techniques
3) provides a foundation for qualitative diagnostic, reliability, maintainability, safety and logistics analyses
4) provides estimates of system critical failure rates
5) provides a quantitative ranking of a system and/or subsystem failure modes relative to mission importance
6) identifies parts and systems most likely to fail
7) when used as an iterative process while changes are made to the design, it becomes an important continuous improvement tool for making program decisions regarding trade-offs affecting design integrity
