MCT Beginning

1. Examples of function analysis objectives:

• Obtain an overview of the functions of the product (process)
• Establish the function tree
• Associate requirements with functions
• Identify interfaces and interactions
• Identify the causes, modes and effects of failure for each function

2. Examples of prevention controls:

• Design review
• Functional review
• Validation tests
• Feasibility review
• Endurance test

3. Examples of failure analysis objectives:

• Identify the causes, modes and affects of failure for each function
• Breakdown the failures by deduction from the function analysis
• Determine the causes of failure for each component
• Identify the causes of process failure
• Assess the action priority

4. Examples of risk analysis objectives:

• Identify the causes, modes and affects of failure for each function
• Determine the current controls
• Assign prevention controls to failure causes
• Assign detection controls to failure causes and modes
• Break down the failures by deduction from the function analysis

5. Examples of documentation objectives:

• Plan the completion date of the actions
• Record the risk reduction assessment
• Communicate the results of the FMEA
• Communicate the conclusions of the FMEA
• Establish the FMEA report
