    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_reporting...

    Failure Reporting (FR). The failures and the faults related to a system, a piece of equipment, a piece of software or a process are formally reported through a standard form (Defect Report, Failure Report). Analysis (A). Perform analysis in order to identify the root cause of failure. Corrective Actions (CA).

  3. Fault injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_injection

    Gremlin recreates the most common failures across three categories -- Resource, Network, and State—by safely injecting failure into systems in order to proactively identify and fix unknown faults. Codenomicon Defensics [ 24 ] is a black-box test automation framework that does fault injection to more than 150 different interfaces including ...

  4. Failure mode and effects analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_mode_and_effects...

    Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) 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. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on the rest of the system ...

  5. Fault tree analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tree_analysis

    A fault tree diagram. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a type of failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is examined. This analysis method is mainly used in safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to reduce risk and to determine (or get a feeling for) event rates of a safety accident or a particular system level ...

  6. Human error assessment and reduction technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_error_assessment_and...

    A reliability engineer has the task of assessing the probability of a plant operator failing to carry out the task of isolating a plant bypass route as required by procedure.

  7. Safety engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_engineering

    Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a top-down, deductive analytical method. In FTA, initiating primary events such as component failures, human errors, and external events are traced through Boolean logic gates to an undesired top event such as an aircraft crash or nuclear reactor core melt. The intent is to identify ways to make top events less ...

  8. Fault detection and isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_detection_and_isolation

    Fault Recovery in FDIR is the action taken after a failure has been detected and isolated to return the system to a stable state. Some examples of fault recoveries are: Switch-off of a faulty equipment; Switch-over from a faulty equipment to a redundant equipment; Change of state of the complete system into a Safe Mode with limited functionalities

  9. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    A sudden fail-open fault can cause multiple secondary failures if it is fast and the circuit contains an inductance; this causes large voltage spikes, which may exceed 500 volts. A broken metallisation on a chip may thus cause secondary overvoltage damage. [1] Thermal runaway can cause sudden failures including melting, fire or explosions.
