These two factors influence how FMECA rank failures.
What are severity and probability of occurrence?
100
These Static Logic gates are used in a FTA.
What are the AND and OR gates?
100
The Safety Assessment Report assists the QA Personnel in determining if this needs to be performed on a product and/or processes.
What is Government Contract Quality Assurance (GCQA) surveillance?
100
These are responses that prevent recurrence of a failure.
What are corrective action responses?
100
DCMA QA Personnel use reliability analysis to aid in the selection of products that would or could cause these types of failure of the weapon system if the product fails.
What are catastrophic or critical failures?
200
These are the three types of FMEAs.
What are Design, System and Process FMEAs?
200
This flowchart symbol represents the top and intermediate events on the FTA diagram.
What is a rectangle?
200
This probability level is unique to SSA and not included in the FMECA probability levels.
What is Level E for Eliminated?
200
These real-world results are used to update the FMEA/FMECA.
What is FRACAS?
200
These are two commonly used tools for reliability analysis.
What are FMEA and FTA?
300
FMEA can be described as this.
What is a bottom-up, inductive analytical technique?
300
FTA can be described as this.
What is a top-down, deductive analytical technique?
300
This is the application of engineering and management principles, criteria, and techniques to achieve acceptable mishap risk.
What is System Safety?
300
This best describes FRACAS.
What is a system that provides reporting, classifying, and analyzing failures?
300
Reliability analysis techniques are typically used during these acquisition phases for components, products, sub-systems and systems.
What are design and development phases?
400
This FMECA severity category is assigned when the failure causes a catastrophic failure.
What is category I?
400
FTA is used primarily in these fields of engineering.
What are reliability and safety?
400
This is the preferred analysis technique/method to define the frequency or rate of occurrence for a hazard that causes a mishap.
What is quantitative analysis?
400
FRACAS represents this experience of actual failures and their consequences.
What is the "real world" experience?
400
The purpose of conducting a reliability analysis is to document the cause of a failure to do this.
What is to prevent future occurrence, and/or to improve performance?
500
In addition to identifying potential failure modes, FMEA recommendations are made to do this.
What is to mitigate the risks associated with the failure modes?
500
FTA is used to determine these.
What are the root causes?
500
This identifies the potential consequence for a given hazard at a given point in time.
What is the SSA Severity Category?
500
Actual failure experiences reported and analyzed in FRACAS provide a means of verifying the completeness of this.
What is FMECA?
500
Reliability analysis determines where this risk cause fails.
