Who is Mike Kadar
100
One of the categories of evident failures.
What is safety and environmental? What is operational? What is non-operational?
100
Scheduled maintenance is an example of a strategy used to prevent failure modes that are likely to occur.
What is an example of failure management strategy?
200
An example of this kind of failure is "Unable to transfer any water at all"
What is a function failure?
200
Failure consequences that are based on the cost of repairs (solely economic).
What are non-operating consequences.
200
A level in which maintenance is managed
What is failure mode level?
200
Determining the ways each failure matters.
What is the primary question to ask when assessing failures?
200
A function whose failure will not become evident if it occurs on its own.
What is a hidden function?
300
This type of failure affects production and operations.
What is an operational failure.
300
A responsible party who used to hold 7AM calls with shop directors.
Who is John Estes
300
Dealing with events before they occur or, at least, deciding how they should be dealt with if they were to occur.
What is proactive management?
300
This information is recorded to answer the question "what evidence that the failure has occured?"
What is evidence of failure?
300
A worksheet which contains the following information: function, function failure, failure mode, and failure effect
What is a RCM information worksheet?
400
Describe what happens when a failure mode occurs and is needed to support the evaluation of consequences of a failure
what is failure effect?
400
Key factor used to determine what failure modes which might reasonably be expected to occur
What is failure mode probability?
400
A failure which on its own will become evident to the operating crew
What is an evident failure

What is increased in desired performance?
500
Capability drops below desired performance after the asset is put into service
What is failling capability?
500
This occurs when a protected function fails while the protective device is in a failed state.
What is a multiple failure.
500
A category of failure effects

500
Key factors that should be considered when deciding how much detail is needed to do a failure mode analysis
What are failure mode causation, probability, and consequence?
